Why learn functional programming? Isn't that some complicated
ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell?
In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It's also
very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the
conventional programming tools and using only functional
programming features. But it doesn't have to be done that way.
Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition
to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream
language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support.
In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you
prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax,
but the concepts are the same. Give functional programming a try.
You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in
your day-to-day programming.
