A Principled Approach to Querying Data – A Type-Safe Search DSL


This article explores a type-driven approach, leveraging a Domain-Specific Language (DSL), to create a powerful and maintainable search system.

These optimizations can provide a path forward for scaling the system to handle a large amount of data and complex queries, and their implementation is left as an exercise for the reader. This article has detailed a principled approach to querying data: a comprehensive system built on type safety, functional programming, and a clear separation of concerns. While a deep dive into monad theory is beyond the scope of this article, recognizing this connection can open doors to a deeper understanding of functional programming principles, and maybe even lessen the barries of entry.
