TODOs

1. Implement FoldMap

   • Description: Combine fold and map into a single operation that maps over a structure, then folds the result using a monoid.
   • Goals: Enhance efficiency by combining transformations and reductions in one pass.

2. Lazy Evaluation Utilization

   • Description: Implement lazy evaluation features similar to Haskell's thunks or streams to handle infinite data structures.
   • Goals: Allow processing of potentially infinite streams of data efficiently.

3. Monads

   • Description: Implement basic monads like Maybe, Either, and IO to manage side effects and errors more functionally.
   • Goals: Provide robust error handling and side effect management in a functional way.

4. Combinators for Function Composition

   • Description: Add combinators like compose and pipe to facilitate easier function chaining and composition.
   • Goals: Simplify complex function combinations and enhance code readability.

5. Immutable Data Structures

   • Description: Implement or integrate persistent data structures that are immutable.
   • Goals: Encourage pure functions and avoid side effects from shared mutable state.

Improvements to Existing Code

1. Enhance groupBy with Custom Aggregators

   • Description: Extend the groupBy function to accept an aggregator function, allowing for summaries like sum, average, etc.
   • Goals: Make groupBy more versatile and useful for data analysis tasks.

2. Optimize Recursive Functions

   • Description: Review and optimize recursive functions like Foldr and Foldl for stack safety and performance.
   • Goals: Prevent stack overflow in deep recursions and improve execution speed.

3. Add Comprehensive Error Handling

   • Description: Ensure that all functions properly handle errors and exceptional cases, especially those that work with external resources or complex data.
   • Goals: Improve the robustness and reliability of the library.

General Project Enhancements

1. Benchmarking and Performance Analysis

   • Description: Set up benchmarks for all key functions to measure and optimize performance.
   • Goals: Ensure that the library performs efficiently even under heavy loads.

2. Documentation and Examples

   • Description: Create detailed documentation and real-world examples for each function in the library.
   • Goals: Make the library user-friendly and accessible to newcomers.

3. Unit Testing Expansion

   • Description: Expand the test suite to cover edge cases, performance tests, and integration scenarios.
   • Goals: Ensure high reliability and catch potential issues early in the development cycle.

4. Community Contributions and Code Reviews

   • Description: Set up a contribution guideline and review process to encourage community involvement.
   • Goals: Improve code quality and incorporate community insights and improvements.

5. Create Interactive Tutorials

   • Description: Develop interactive tutorials or a small web application demonstrating the use of the library.
   • Goals: Enhance learning resources and provide hands-on experience with functional programming concepts.
