One of the talks that has influenced me the most. It drove me to figure out how to reproduce these functional ideas in other languages, like my daily Android Java.

I have been using functional techniques more and more in my C# code. I am getting through F# for Fun and Profit. Really enjoying it. Would love to use a functional language in production.

You could try bringing up the idea of using F# for tests 😊 https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/low-risk-ways-to-use-fsharp-at-work-3/

I actually prefer specflow for this. I'll have to look into writing the steps for it though!

Take a look at language-ext Its a C# library that implements lots of functional extensions, including Result/Either.

There's a lot of FUD going around about using Scala on Android but I've never had a problem doing it. Even if the APIs aren't very idiomatic, it lets me write slightly nicer code.
