'Funtional Programming" in C++
-
I am an independent developer using C++. I work alone.
I will soon release the program I developed as open source..
The question is where functional programming currently exists within C++ and how it is accepted. Do many C++ developers write programs in functional form?
Do C++ developers like or dislike releasing programs written in FP style as open source?
I haven't written any programs in FP.
I don't think there's a need to recreate this as a function, but I'd like to know how important functional programs are in current C++ development.
I would like to know the future prospects of functional programming in C++. Should I learn ‘FP’ in depth? -
Hi,
There are several books about that matter that exists.
I would recommend Functional Programing in C++ from Ivan Čukić.The book is very well written and offer suggestions on several use case where to use it so I think it's worth reading before going further.
As with all the tools in programming languages (or in everyday life): use the one that fits the best the task at hand. There's no silver bullet.
