Daniel Spiewak derives the Free monad from scratch in Scala to demonstrate its power and simplicity.
In this talk, we will embark on an epic journey through a live editor buffer as we derive the Free monad from scratch for fun and profit in just a few dozen lines of code. And once we have it, we will see how easy to use and powerful it can be when applied to the right problems.Why it's here
2 people recommend thisWhat people say. Highly recommended for building a Free monad from scratch to understand how it works without complex optimizations.

To add to the video comments:
I personally really like Daniel Spiewaks talk on the Free Monad where he rolls his own from scratch. It's much more understandable because it doesn't have any of the optimizations etc.
