VKUG - Live coding server as a function with http4k

Hello, fellow Kotliners!

Time for the next virtual get-together. This time Dmitry Kandalov gives us a live coding session and shows us how to do a server as a function in http4k.

Here is the abstract:
Http4k is a lightweight HTTP library written in Kotlin that enables serving and consuming of HTTP services in a functional and testable way. Unlike many other libraries and frameworks which have complicated abstractions and workflows, http4k captures the essence of communication over HTTP with few simple concepts. In this session, I will explain and demo the core concepts in http4k by live coding from scratch HTTP server for noughts and crosses game.
