FunctionalPlus VS Coconut

Hoogle is really amazing!

Inspired by it, I implemented something similar for FunctionalPlus (a functional-programming library for C++): https://www.editgym.com/fplus-api-search/

I'd love to see more projects taking this path too. :)

You can get a feel for it on its api search site: as an example, enter these queries:

I use a library called FunctionalPlus daily.

As idiomatic, I will try to adopt as much as possible purely functional programming in C++ by using https://github.com/Dobiasd/FunctionalPlus . Do you have by any chance any alternative suggestion?

Any project CML file that is more complex than this is mismanaged and needs fixing asap. There is absolutely no reason to make CML files describing requirements of a library substantially more complex other than if you have a vendetta against yourself, package maintainers and your users.

FunctionalPlus - 30 lines for usage requirements + 60 for install rules: just simple commands creating a target, setting properties and defining install rules. Hmm, nothing unholy here.

Another option is to use a superbuild CML where you can do all the nasty, platform specific things. Example of a superbuild CML.

> to be part of the Python ecosystem

I'd rather use Python if I'm in the Python ecosystem. So many attempts were made in the past to make a new language compatible with the Python ecosystem (look up hylang and coconu -- https://github.com/evhub/coconut). But at the end of the day, I'd come back to Python because if there's one thing I've learnt in recent years it's this:

    minimize dependencies at all costs.

Have you had a look at Coconut? I don't know if it'll push all your buttons but whenever I hear someone who's reasonably content with Python but wants more FP goodies I always think of it. https://github.com/evhub/coconut . It's basically a superset of Python3 that transpiles into Python3 and is compatible with MyPy. I don't think I'd code Python w/o it ever again assuming I had the choice. The biggest negative for me is that there's no IDE support for the language last I looked, though of course you can work with the transpiler output (plain Python) in your favorite Python IDE. It might be fun to play around with, I know that I really enjoyed it but then I got spoiled by the language+tooling of Scala3, but if you don't have that option ...

If you're looking for suggestions I want to put forward zig lang if you like C/C++ and Coconut Lang if you like Python!

F# and also the fun, compile-to-Python, functional language called Coconut.
