This document summarizes a presentation about the benefits of functional programming. It discusses:
1. The speaker's experience over 2 years using FP at their job, including working on multiple teams and codebases.
2. The key benefits of FP like modularity, abstraction, and composability, which allow programs to remain simple as they grow. Modular code allows local reasoning, abstract code hides unnecessary details, and composable code scales without increasing complexity.
3. Examples of FP concepts used in their code like pure functions, option types, and monoid algebra, and how these improved testability and reduced errors.
4. How the speaker's team adopted FP gradually over time through experimenting with different
