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
