Functional .NET - LINQ as a Monad(codebetter.com)

submitted by mpodwyso(65) 3 years, 3 months ago

As part of my talk at the Richmond Code Camp earlier in October, I had the opportunity to talk about how to implement functional aspects in C# 3.0. This talk revolved around such concepts as from mutable to immutable, from inheritance to functional composition, and the mind shift that is required. Part of this discussion involved very briefly a talk about monads. It's a very misunderstood part of computer science and one of the most powerful concepts to learn. Much like continuation passing style, this style is often maligned as a result. But, let's work to change that.
