The Way of the Monad. Cleaner, Safer Code is Easy to Test
Monads help eliminate messy error handling and nulls. Starting with `Try`, they enable chaining, pure functions, and testable code. This talk introduces core monads, such as `Try`, `Option`, `Maybe`, and `Choose`, with practical examples in Java, C#, and TypeScript. You will learn how to write cleaner, safer, more predictable software, and take away patterns you can immediately apply in your daily work.
