The big craze about functional programming reminds me of when Java was first introduced, and we were collectively told in subtle and not so subtle ways that programmers were not smart enough to be responsible for their own memory management (malloc/free) and/or doing so was dangerous. Perhaps, some of us were not smart enough to do that.

In the past three years, I've implented three small projects in Clojure. The thing I liked about programming in Clojure was that I had to think differently about solving a problem. I still have to think differently in Perl, because it isn't C.

Anyway, this post was interesting.

Thanks.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
