Functional design patterns

We will be looking into all of the preceding design patterns from the point of view of Scala. This means that they will look different than in other languages, but they still haven't been designed specifically for functional programming. Functional programming is much more expressive than object-oriented programming. It has its own design patterns that help to make the life of a programmer easier. We will focus on:

• Monoids
• Monads
• Functors

After we've looked at some Scala functional programming concepts, and we've been through these, we will mention some interesting design patterns from the Scala world.

A brief explanation of the preceding listed patterns will follow in the next few subsections.
