| - | ====== Functional Programming ====== | + | ====== Clojure and Scala ====== |
| - | Why Functional Programming (FP)? | + | At the time I originally created this page, functional programming on the JVM was a controversial idea. Today, Scala and Clojure are de-facto standards for large scale distributed systems development and in my current job we use both. Here I index blogs and links on these topics. |
| - | I do not oppose object oriented programming (and think that OO can coexist nicely with FP), rather, I believe that a style of programming that embraces the advantages of both OO and FP can realize significant benefits. For example: | + | ===== Clojure(script) ===== |
| - | * Easier tests with fewer fixtures and mocks, that refactor cleanly with the production code | + | * [[http://hoplon.io|Hoplon]], the most innovative web programming environment I've seen in a long time |
| - | * More natural parallelism. | + | * [[https://coconutpalm.github.io/clj-boot/|Boot Boot]], a batteries-included setup for easy library creation with Boot: |
| - | * Using a functional architecture, often parallelism can be added automatically as a feature of the library, without requiring synchronization or locking. | + | * Including live compile/test followed by hot code reload, |
| - | * With multiple cores being standard equipment on today's computers, having natural parallelism that you just switch on is a huge advantage. | + | * Markdown to documentation with live browser reload, |
| + | * and (optional) upload to gh-pages and Clojars | ||
| + | * **Perun** - static web sites using Clojure | ||
| + | * [[http://deraen.github.io/hello-world/|Introductory blog]] | ||
| + | * [[http://perun.io|Home page]] | ||
| + | * [[https://github.com/Deraen/deraen.github.io/blob/blog/build.boot|Example web site / blog using Perun]] | ||
| - | Put quite simply, a functional style of programming can be achieved in any programming language, from //Java// to //Scala//--yet it is not the usual style that is practiced. | + | ===== Lisps, more generally ===== |
| - | In this space, I'll document my explorations into functional programming. Most of the code here will be in either Java or Scala, though currently I'm using Java most of the time. | + | [[http://practicaltypography.com/why-racket-why-lisp.html|Why Racket]] is an excellent blog describing benefits that the Lisp family of languages generally brings to programming. |
| + | ===== Scala ===== | ||
| - | In addition, the "Monad" design pattern is a significant pattern in functional code. An ongoing theme is an attempt to demystify what a Monad is, where every experienced programmer has already used monads (often without realizing it), and why this is useful. | + | * http://noelmarkham.github.io/scalaz-scala.io -- Excellent Scalaz presentation |
| - | + | ===== Java and FP (pre Java-8) ===== | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In this space I index my writings on functional programming, and particularly on Monads. | + | |
