Better yet, what if you could bring the team on the journey with you; help them see the beauty and benefits of functional code? This book will guide you through sorting myths from reality. Learn to spot performance pitfalls. Adjust your code to suit the team's familiarity, without compromising confidence. Learn to have nuanced, reasonable discussions.
