Break the Loop: How I Finally Understood Functional Programming (Without the Math)
📰 Hackernoon
Understanding functional programming through computation axioms can simplify the learning process
Action Steps
- Focus on the underlying model of computation rather than getting bogged down in syntax
- Learn about computation axioms and how they apply to functional programming
- Understand the logic of 'folds' and 'maps' and how they can be used in different programming languages
- Practice applying these concepts in a language of your choice, such as Haskell or Python
Who Needs to Know This
Software engineers and developers can benefit from this approach to improve their coding skills and work more efficiently with functional programming concepts, and it can also help teams to collaborate more effectively on projects that involve FP
Key Insight
💡 Functional programming concepts like folds and maps can be understood and applied across different programming languages by focusing on the underlying model of computation
