From the article:
“Huge disclaimer, I’m not yet some functional programming expert who can boldly explain category theory and all them really fancy terms, but this article explains how I was able to build a pretty basic and functional Todo CRUD app using ZIO and Akka Http.
Granted, there are some functional Http clients such as http4s, but I’ve been using Akka Http for ages and I just needed some FP library that I could integrate with Akka Http, and since there is so much buzz around ZIO, I decided to use this pretty awesome library. So here goes.
ZIO is a pretty cool FP library to use, it helps you think of your whole program as composed effects, where the output of one effect solely depends on the input it was given, from the environment or another effect.
