I always had thinked that a functional approach would bring many benefits to imperative languages too. Functional programming has a lot of desirable attributes: not fumbling with . Tutorial 8: Generic programming, functional approach. Additional characteristics found in functional programming languages are elaborated type systems that e.g. If you reduce the amount of code that you are programming, you can decrease the amount of possible bugs by reducing its cyclomatic complexity. I have decided to continue this series by extending the integrator to handle 2d and 3d. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming. And for about I'd had some taste of functional approaches with javascript and ruby, but this was an order of magnitude better. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. Since then, I've really began to see the expressive powers that functional programming provides. Use option types to prevent null pointer issues typical for imperative or object oriented programming languages. Functional programming favours the second approach and FP languages support recursion by optimization techniques, even implicit recursion through folding - a concept that keeps recurring in the FP paradigm. Have you heard about functional programming but not sure what all the fuss is about?
