Hello. My friends are trying to convince me of the value of functional programming. Writing safer and clearer programs sounds good, but I am not inclined to learn Haskell.
Xotcl is a pretty flexible beast. Can I do functional programming in it? It seems as though classes are a variety of object in Xotcl, so that will be an advantage for passing classes around, but what else am I missing? I suspect that Gustaf and Uwe thought about functional programming when they designed their beast. Can I find out what their thoughts were?
Regards,
Rick
