/fpt/ - Functional Programming Thread

common lisp macros have a retarded syntax

I have actually written a bit of F# today. I'm re-writing my Brainfuck compiler to target .NET.

Since the thread needs some life, here's some topic to discuss:

Does presence of FP features in various languages make them "real" FP language?
What are your thoughts whether some language belongs to FP field or not?

>>58069330
it would be a multi-paradigm language in that case, no?

I can't wait for the FP fad to die.

>>58069330

Does the presence of OOP features in FP languages make them Object Oriented?

The question can really be generalized to "For a given paradigm X, is a language considered to be an X language if it supports it, or only if it encourages it?"

There is no general consensus on this matter, really.

Posting this thread caused the side effect of pushing another thread off the board. Better abandon thread FPfags!

It's wrapped in the 4chan monad, so we're all good.

A brain that large would produce a massive strain on the body for oxygen and blood.

Why do FP fags think FP is the new modern way of programming even though it's old as fuck?

>>58069640
Is that why telcos are always so terrible?

You shouldn't, since the FP language is used to carry out telecommunications in the world. It happened to be so useful so even web developers started to adopt it.

Not sure if in here or best in SQT

Any good tuts for getting started with F#? I did some Haskell several years ago, but the two languages seem sufficiently different, plus my general lack of experience in the paradigm makes this all very alien to me.

>>58069712
Materials at fsharp.org look nice desu.

>>58069712

I've found F# for Fun and Profit to be a little helpful, along with the general documentation on the fsharp.org website, and MSDN
