Monad Design Pattern (C#)

[@LordErnie]

I wonder if this is used in general practise. I personally couldn't agree more with your advice, but I do wonder if it's the best way to go from an OO perspective. Could you elaborate on how the usage of monads in combination with the Nil structure, lead to a better and more maintainable process? I am a fan of process composition, but I don't see how this could be implemented in smaller processes. 100 Points to Griffindor for the self describing code and the abstracting away of NULL. But you didn't remove NULL, you just gave it a wrapper so you could treat it in a different way. NULL will eventually still be in your code, you just don't deal with NULL but rather an object that represents having no value.

I was waiting for your video for Functional Programming damn i am so happy.

Watching this in 0.75 speed helps understand this a lot better.

I realize I'm spoiled as a programmer; we have lots of memory and horsepower to work with nowadays, but my brain really likes the clear class and type definitions that Object Oriented Programming offers. Functional programming is great with C/C++ (particularly on microcontrollers) but on larger systems it can be incredibly difficult to maintain Functional code if you didn't write it. Imagine stepping through even a few thousand lines of this after you've been given an old project. Literal nightmare.

but C is isn't functional at alll, and c++ is THE objected oriented language 😭 (I get your point, but there's better examples for that)

[@pierrekore221]

Great explanation. thank you !

[@RawCoding]

Glad you liked it!

[@health_doc]

How do you handle code that throws exceptions inside the monad

[@bennymountain1]

By using a Maybe monad.

[@abhishekbagchi6052]

Amazing, thank you

[@LucasMarinoElementh]

Nicely explained, thanks!

[@RawCoding]

Thank you for watching

[@mariomorazan9473]

I love how he explains. The examples are neat as well.

[@vamvdotnet]

This reminds a bit of fluent pattern and pipes. Am I saying nonsense ?

[@RawCoding]

You’re right in saying that it reminds you of it, the style of code is the same as in visually the shape looks the same. But the way we drag the result of 1 function in to the next is what makes the monad, fluent apis aren’t bound by that.

[@Haapavuo]

Could you please start using Microsoft's C# Coding Conventions (especially in naming)? Thank you.

[@RawCoding]

Fuck the police

[@Haapavuo]

Wow. Yes, I can see that since you are copying your content mostly from the NDC talks...

[@RawCoding]

Yes they are great sources of information

[@Kitulous]

conventions are just conventions, Anton is not obliged to use them. if one works in a company they should use the company's conventions, if one doesn't work in a company they are free to use whatever convention they feel like to, even define their own conventions

[@42069_]

i agree, anton should've used better names. but not necessarily MS conventions. if i got something from the video, i got the theroy. not the implementation.
