Grokking Simplicity: Taming complex software with functional thinking I’m cheating a bit because this is only under 200 pages because it’s a work in progress. It’s such an easy read, but does a great job at explaining the value of functional programming for building real-world applications without getting bogged down in monads, currying, and complex type systems. Once it’s complete, I’d make it required reading for any new junior/intermediate devs on my team (or anyone unfamiliar with functional programming).
