Learning Functional Programming in Go

Overview of this book

Lex Sheehan begins slowly, using easy-to-understand illustrations and working Go code to teach core functional programming (FP) principles such as referential transparency, laziness, recursion, currying, and chaining continuations. This book is a tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to write better code. Lex guides readers from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. The book is divided into four modules. The first module explains the functional style of programming: pure functional programming, manipulating collections, and using higher-order functions. In the second module, you will learn design patterns that you can use to build FP-style applications. In the next module, you will learn FP techniques that you can use to improve your API signatures, increase performance, and build better cloud-native applications. The last module covers Category Theory, Functors, Monoids, Monads, Type classes and Generics. By the end of the book, you will be adept at building applications the FP way.

Map and filter

The next code example demonstrates the use of a few standard intermediate functions: map and filter.

The code in this example can be copy/pasted into The Go playground, which is a service that takes your Go program, compiles, links, and runs your program with the latest version of Go inside a sandbox and then returns the output to the screen. You can find it at https://play.golang.org/.

Executable commands must always use package main. We can separate each import statement on a separate line for readability.

External packages can be referenced using their remote GitHub repository path. We can preface long package names with a shorter alias. The go_utils package can now be referenced with the u letter. Note that if we aliased a package name with _, its exported functions can be referenced directly in our Go code without indicating which package it...
