Learning Software Architecture | Hacker News

A Hacker News post argues that software architecture can be learned through reusable functional-programming mental models.

It points to compiler pipelines, AST transformations, and the nanopass framework as practical ways to organize code.

The post also highlights algebraic data types, folds, unfolds, codata, and reactive programming as transferable design patterns.

Overall, it frames architecture as a set of abstractions that can improve how developers structure transformation-heavy systems.
