Programming with Functional Style
Functional programming is becoming very popular today. Many languages tout themselves as functional. But what does it mean for a language to be functional? Does some feature of the language magically imbue any program written in that language with functional properties? This talk will explore what constitutes functional style, why some languages get the term functional, and how the functional paradigm can help you write better code.
