How Functional Programming Can Help You Write Efficient, Elegant Web Applications

Many things can make software more challenging to understand and, consequently, to maintain. One of the most complex and problematic causes is managing internal mutable states. When the internal state is poorly managed, the software behaves unexpectedly, leading to bugs and fixing, which introduces unnecessary complexity. FP solves this problem by providing immutability mechanisms and more.

WebAssembly, the Safer Alternative to Integrating Native Code in Java

Developers typically choose between porting the code or dynamic linking to run native code on the JVM. This article examines these approaches, using SQLite as an example, and introduces a third option: Chicory Wasm runtime. This alternative combines the advantages of traditional methods while addressing their limitations, potentially offering a more secure solution to integrate native code.
