RE: Functional programming for the OO developer (Intro)
Yay, functional programming! You have my support :)
PS: Add the steemdev tag. Your post will show up in "new" on the tagged channels, so use them where you think people will like your stuff. I donno, maybe tutorial and education.
Cool, thanks for the info. I hope to get the next part up tomorrow, have half it done :)
A picture for the thread caption can't be bad either.
Btw. where would be the difference between C# plus functional programming and C++ plus functional programming?
I would say that until C++ 11 was released then many techniques would have required mountains of boiler plate noise. Now Lambda is in the language it opens a world of fun. Java 8 was the same as they got Lambda then.
To be fair, all the C style languages require work and enforcing conventions to make work well. C# has a leg up as it has LINQ. I use this for all sorts of computation, validation etc. Each realease C# brings more to the table, now has pattern matching (Ugly imho though) and native tuples.
Lambda is the key though as it opens partial application, curry and the like
