Learning Functional Programming in Go

Composable concurrency

Functional programming is not only about composing functions and algebraic data structures--it makes concurrency composable--something that's virtually impossible with other programming paradigms.

How can we take what we've learned about morphisms and apply it to creating highly concurrent processing models? Suppose we start with a monolithic application with a single binary executable.

What if we can focus only on the morphisms, that is, the interface of inputs and outputs, in our system?

Consider that we're given the following:

• Inputs and outputs can be mapped through isomorphisms
• The state exists in the groupings of our objects
• Morphisms are stateless
