Six Years of FUNAR: Functional Training for Software Architects
summary
A three‑day ISAQB curriculum for Functional Software Architecture (published and free to download) evolves since 2019 into 31 iterations and more than 30+ trainings, teaching mostly FP novices to use DrRacket and Haskell/VSCode and to build a web back end/front end via a Hearts card game example. Core claims: everything is data and workflows are a monad-as-data workflow (free‑monad style) that avoids exposing monad transformers; result: participants implement monads and Haskell basics in four days, give strong but exhausted feedback, and long‑term impact data is still being collected.
