Sistemi 1-3 — Introduction to Transducers + 6 more topics

In programming, when you use functions like map, filter, or reduce on collections, you often create new, temporary collections at each step. This can be inefficient, especially with large datasets, as it consumes extra memory and CPU cycles.

Transducers solve this by decoupling the transformation logic from the collection processing itself. Instead of map returning a new list, a transducer version of map returns a function that knows how to transform an item and how to pass it to the next step.

Let's break down the most important ones:

• Example: A temperature sensor with a sensitivity of 10 mV/°C will output 10 mV for every 1°C change in temperature. If the temperature changes by 5°C, the output changes by 50 mV.
