I can't recommend his book with Robin Hanson, The Elephant in the Brain, enough, it will change the way you view the world forever

Exactly, we're all in one massive market / hierarchy (with a network-effect/power-law distribution), not lots of little ones

They were bought by Match.com, who weren't keen on undermining their own advertising ;-)

I use classes and interfaces at component boundaries, which is encouraged by the FSharp style guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/style-guide/, and use just functions for DI internally where it makes sense.

If you find this area fascinating, and I do, I can't recommend this cousera course enough: https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization

I can't recommend this site enough for explaining imaginary numbers and rotation through animations: http://acko.net/blog/how-to-fold-a-julia-fractal/

They've added the concept of immutable views into managed or unmanaged data, aka Spans. This allows huge reduction in allocations in the framework: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt814808.aspx
