Code Cast #24 – On Functional Programming
A week or so ago, I had the opportunity to talk to David Starr and Jarrod Ferguson for the Elegant Code Cast. This time, the topic was functional programming in general, and not just one language in particular. It was a lot of fun to talk with those guys about a subject I’m quite passionate about. I also recently recorded a Channel9 interview with Erik Meijer on the same subject which should be posted soon.
Some of the topics we covered were addressed in many of my blog posts including:
- Functional Programming Unit Testing Series
- Much Ado About Monads
- Real World Haskell Book Club
- How Does Functional Programming Affect Our Code? (Brian McNamara)
- Haskell.org
- Erlang.org
- FSharp.net
Just to give you a taste of what I talked about. I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to talk with them and any feedback would be appreciated.
