archivesWhat Does Functional Programming Mean?What Does Functional Programming Mean? by Tony Morris
The argument is that referencial transparency is what defines functional programming. Which makes Scala and F# 'poor' for FP, or at least for achieving the compositionality goals of FP. In my opinion there are ways to achieve compositionality without limiting oneself to the strict boundaries of pure programs, as long as one defines clearly which operations stray from these boundaries (cf. Haskell monads...) |
