An Intuitive Guide to Combining Free Monad & Free Applicative • Cameron Joannidis • YOW! 2018

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2018. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Cameron Joannidis - Principal Machine Learning Engineer at Simple Machines @CameronJoannidis RESOURCES https://twitter.com/CamJo89 https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameron-joannidis https://github.com/camjo ABSTRACT The usage of #FreeMonads is becoming more well understood, however the lesser known Free Applicative is still somewhat of a mystery to the average functional programmer. In this talk, I will explain how you can combine the power of both these constructs in an intuitive and visual manner. You will learn the motivations for using Free Structures in the first place, how we can build up a #ComplexDomain, how we can introduce #parallelism into our domain and a bunch of other practical tips for designing programs with these structures. This will also give you a deeper understanding of what libraries like Freestyle are doing under the hood and why it is so powerful.
