Foundations of Functional Design Part 2: Abstract Algebra by Michael Ficarra (https://twitter.com/jspedant)
In this talk, we will learn about algebraic structures and understand how they may be useful in the design of functional programs. We will build an intuition for these algebraic structures through example instances of Group-likes (Magmas, Semigroups, Monoids, Groups, and Abelian Groups) in both Haskell and JavaScript. JavaScript examples will be Fantasy Land (https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land) compliant where applicable.
Note that "Part I" is not a prerequisite for this talk!
