Gabriel Claramunt, All About a Fold
Abstract
Folds are the bread and butter of functional programming, but what are they, really? What do they mean? Let's take a look how folds encode structural recursion. We'll move beyond folding over lists by generalizing to any data structure, and in the process, we'll unravel the secrets behind folding.
