｢ Curry is a declarative multi-paradigm programming language which combines in a seamless way features from functional programming (nested expressions, higher-order functions, strong typing, lazy evaluation) and logic programming (non-determinism, built-in search, free variables, partial data structures) ｣
Interesting.
"In the 1990s, it was [...] thought that parallel graph-reduction architectures could make functional programming languages much faster than their imperative counterparts. Alas, that prediction mostly failed to materialize. [...] Now, two projects — Bend and Vine — have sprung up attempting to change that, and prove that parallel graph reduction can be a useful technique for real programs."
Racket v8.16 Launch: Enhancements and Community Contributions Propel Functional Programming Forward
The release of Racket v8.16 marks a significant milestone for the open-source programming language, showcasing the power of community collaboration. With improved installation processes and new featur...
I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.
Algebraic effects are a functional approach to manage side effects
—Peter Saxton
｢ Much development time is spent managing and understanding the side effects - algebraic effects offer a consistent and ergonomic approach. This single abstraction supersedes exception handling, state, iterators async-await and more by generalising the communication between a program and the world ｣

Don't be intimidated by #FunctionalProgramming! Once you get it, it's fun and a powerful tool for maintaining complex software.
Let’s dive into why large programs become harder to manage as they grow, and how FP can help, making the process more enjoyable: https://bit.ly/3Cm04GC
λ Church Of Turing - The Landscape of Lisp
｢ In fact the variety of Lisp is in my opinion one of it's best qualities. It almost guarantees that as long as you can overcome the (relatively) small barriers of the paren-heavy syntax and prefix notation that there will be a dialect and community that closely mirrors your philosophy on software development ｣

Python's __call__ dunder offers a closure alternative. It manages state in a class, callable like a function, opening new code structuring possibilities.
In complex scenarios, __call__ enhances readability and maintainability. Encapsulating logic and data promotes cleaner code, improving clarity and debugging.
For pre-filling arguments, consider __call__ over functools.partial, especially with methods needing internal state. It creates a state-holding object for robust operations.
This is beneficial in large projects with complex logic. Using __call__ improves organization and maintainability, leading to efficient development.
Why dont we define uncertainty as a function of time ?
Isnt a function also a variable ?
Aha
> In functional programs the variables are like those in mathematics, once a value has been assigned the value cannot change.
In imperative languages it is typical that the values held by variables an be changed.

TFW a software engineer shouldn't wonder whether, but why. I find this true for #functionalprogramming in #php . Why is that useful? Please enlighten me!
Here's a free to read reference:

And here's a quick primer:

A nice article, starting with harmless maps and flatMaps in Kotlin and ending with functors and monads, hopefully without scaring the reader:
Looking for a crash course in Standard ML/NJ for someone who has never done functional programming. Got about a week.

So glad to be having @dhinojosa with us @ChicagoJUG @ChicagoKUG tonight. He's giving us a very nice revisit of #java #functionalprogramming #DesignPattern 
We welcome our friends from around the world for the first time #virtualJUG 
Common Lisp
｢ Common Lisp and Smalltalk are some of the last vestiges of a lost culture of programming that was intensely focused on feedback and live systems. I wouldn't claim that those cultures are superior to engineering cultures of today but I would say they prioritized a different set of values and they have much to learn from as a result ｣
