Point-Free is here, bringing you videos covering functional programming concepts using the Swift language.

Point-Free is a video series covering functional programming and Swift. We’ve been working in functional programming for quite some time now, and we’ve seen a lot of benefits. So, we’ve wanted to share with more people, and what better way than a video series that we can bring to our community.

Functional programming leads to a lot of interesting ways to reuse code and make code more testable. But, we didn’t even know about many of these ideas for most of our careers. However, by diving deeper and deeper things started to slowly make more sense it became clear that this was a serious tool for wiping away complexity that every programming should have at their disposal.

Unfortunately, functional programming is sometimes seen as overly academic or unapproachable. That’s a shame because it’s a really beautiful way of doing programming, just a little different from what we are used to. It emphasizes immutable values, which means you are not allowed to mutate! And it is weirdly obsessed with functions and how they compose, and in some sense that is all that matters.
