Level: Beginner

This talk will be a masterclass about everything you wanted to know (and potentially what you didn't even know you wanted to know) when it comes to function composition and combinators. We will cover the different "composition strategies" used in languages like Haskell, APL, J, KAP, Jelly, Uiua, Clojure and more. Furthermore, we will in more detail cover the most common combinators and the patterns in which they are most useful.
