Watch a 22-minute conference talk from YOW! 2017 where Senior Software Engineer Charles O'Farrell challenges conventional thinking about web frameworks in functional programming. Explore how to break down complex web functionality into small, composable functions, using Haskell's WAI library as a practical example. Learn to critically evaluate the composability of functions and data structures, understand why choosing a single web framework may be limiting, and discover how to achieve the same functionality through modular, composable functions. Gain insights into recognizing effective function design and assessing the true cost of library dependencies, while understanding how web frameworks can be reimagined as collections of composable functions rather than monolithic systems.
