Functional Programming Languages

[Scary]

No. What's "mathematial"?

I do know your function though - wind people up on here for laughs whilst being paid by your employer!

Unlike you, winding people up for laughs on your own dime.

'Tis true: I've occasionally heard "Work damn you!" directed at some code.

Functional Programming language in a job spec


...and another one

Better brush up on those Haskell skills.

It's not our fault you don't understand English. Quick lesson... the same word can have different meanings. 'functional' refers to mathematics, where we have functions, in this case.

So this whole thread is based on your basic ignorance of what "functional" means.....

The daft thing is - when I first saw this thread I thought of posting:
"AtW Functional Programming doesn't just mean - It works!!"

but thought - "Nah that wouldn't be funny - there is no way AtW doesn't know what Functional Programming is.............."

..... that was before he spent all yesterday and most of today talking Tulip and proving that that is exactly the case.........just goes to show..........
