>I don't necessarily buy the argument it's trying to make that "just make a function and you no longer have a need for factory pattern". The same pattern is achievable with functions but the implementation is so trivial in FP that it doesn't even need a name: Just have a function return another function. That's a function factory. Same thing with dependency injection: Just have a function take another function as a p…

Do you have a good example of a reference architecture or implementation of a non-trivial system you can point me to? I've recently gotten a copy of the book Domain Modelling Made Functional. I'm yet to read it, but I'm pretty intrigued by some of what I've seen and I have heard it comes highly recommend. I'd be very keen to hear of other high quality examples of things people consider good reference material.

Functional programming is rare. It's sort of like the PS3 when it came out. Better specs across the board but harder to use and understand so it's hard for me to point to production level examples. Facebook does have one big project done in haskell you can look into that. Also whatsapp is done entirely in erlang.

Also note that the trend I see in the industry is not exactly movement towards functional programs but more movement towards borrowing features popular in functional programming as well as getting rid of classes.

I'm not very well educated in the fields of history and philosophy so I constantly have to google for references to people or concepts I've only heard of before. It's much more rewarding this way than how I went through half of the book in the past ignoring a lot of things I was ignorant of, but it's a way slower process. It's an experience I'm thoroughly enjoying, but some of the characters described seem to me like…

> some of the characters described seem to me like they couldn't be real people Could you elaborate? I'd like to hear what you find dissonant.

Apologies, I didn't find the time to look up a specific example as none came to mind on the spot.

My top priority books: Software Requirements - Karl Wiegers Programming TypeScript - Boris Cherny Associate Cloud Engineer Study - Dan Sullivan Design Patterns - Gang of Four Refactoring - Kent Beck, Martin Fowler Programming Pearls - Jon Bentley Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture - Martin Fowler The Pragmatic Programmer - David Thomas, Andrew Hunt CSS: The Definitive Guide - Eric A. Meyer, Estelle Weyl…

Based on your Best Books list, check out David Goggins book 'Cant Hurt Me'. I found him through a podcast he did with Joe Rogan and it resonated with me on a deep personal level. It ultimately inspired me to change my life: I lost 50 lbs since, got a raise and promotion at work and travelled more in 2019 than the last 5 years.

Can't hurt me was so masochistic that after 50% of the book I started thinking why is he doing "that much". It's a good book no doubt. It makes you feel that limits are just in mind. But I've to give it a break after hearing (audible) 66% and will return to it later :)
