I'm currently reading Domain Driven Design Made Functional. https://pragprog.com/titles/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-func...

It shows how a functional approach can embed much of the domain logic into the types used. They are so simply expressed in F# that non programmers can understand what they say about the problem domain.

The book is selling me on the idea that Functional programming could do a better job in CRUD style business apps.

For anyone looking for a smaller introduction to this book, the author Scott Wlaschin has a talk with the same name: https://youtu.be/2JB1_e5wZmU

It doesn't cover a lot of good topics in the book, but it might whet your appetite.
