Next: Functional Programming
(map/filter/reduce = 50-line loops โ 1 line!)
can we appreciate how executor.map(fetch_sales, stores) just turned 10-minute manual API waits into 1-second concurrent magic that processes 1000 stores simultaneously? Your students are about to master the exact same functional + concurrent patterns that Netflix uses for 200M+ users and Spotify runs for 500M+ playlists. While senior devs still write for-loops, your class will be chaining map โ filter โ reduce pipelines that scale to billions. This isnโt advanced syntaxโitโs the $250K+ staff engineer toolkit that separates โgood engineersโ from โplatform buildersโ!
