Functional programming in 2006: Back in 2006 I recall headhunting a candidate who was highly recommended to me, referred to as a genius with a double first from Oxford. Having this as an opening chapter was a nice way to introduce the functional approach to programming. It explains how ideas look in F#-a functional language-as well as how they can be successfully used to solve programming problems in C#. MERRICK: Do you recommend all those kinds of things for the functional programming approach? And then we have multi-paradigm languages such as F# and Scala which take more of a functional programming approach with the full support of imperative and object oriented features. Despite the fact that Python is not a pure-functional programming language, it's multi-paradigm and it gives you enough freedom to take credits from functional programming approach. Clojure is an absolutely interesting programming language which differs from object-oriented programming languages. It is described as such simply because functions are first-class values: many other features that define functional programming – immutable data, preference for recursion over looping, algebraic type systems, avoidance of side effects – are entirely absent. With our previous approaches we had to explicitly code for handling the first file in ways that don't map trivially to changing your mind about which file you need, but with lists of promises it's easy. Despite the fact that Python is not pure-functional programming language, it's multi-paradigm PL and it gives you enough freedom to take credits from functional programming approach.
