Explore advanced functional programming concepts and their practical applications in this 43-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Dive beyond basic functional concepts like immutable data and lambdas to discover how pattern matching, algebraic data types, type classes, and functional abstractions can solve real-world problems. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates a practical example using Java's functional constructs, then progressively enhances it using JVM-based languages to improve code maintainability and safety. Learn from Michał Płachta, a polyglot software engineer specializing in distributed applications and functional programming, as he shares insights from his experience as a team leader at Ocado Technology building actor-based software for automated warehouses.
