Functional IO with FS2 Streams

One of the main principles of functional programming is to avoid side-effects. For the most part, working with immutable instances would be sufficient to satisfy that principle. But sometimes it's needed to do some sideeffects e.g. when we want to read from file. One straight-forward way of doing it is to get a `BufferedSource`, and process it using an iterator as shown below.

- 31 October 2016
In part 1 of this series we learnt how to decouple the code that deals with side effects from our pure functions by using functors (Any type constructor which implements the map function). Now lets see how we can extend our functors so that we can sequence computations that each fall under the indeterminism of side effects.
