returns VS awesome-functional-python

returns – Make your functions return something meaningful, typed, and safe

you haven’t heard of https://github.com/dry-python/returns

returns from the DRY python group appears to offer similar functionality.

Not to diminish this at all, but https://github.com/dry-python/returns also exists. The scope is wider, but the look and feel of the types feels very similar.

You can decide for yourself what is more readable: all these lambdas or the `None and f()` code.

There is a Python library called returns (https://github.com/dry-python/returns) that allows you to write functional code in Python

hi everyone .. sharing this link to "awesome functional python" :: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python .. i wish i would have found it a few months ago when starting my functional python journey, especially the libraries :)

Really strange new lands can be found in functional programming languages like Haskell, Elm, OCaml, Elixir, and the like. Functional programming in Python isn't something I have adopted fully, but I do find it a helpful paradigm. Interesting tools available for it.

https://github.com/mpkocher/Functional-Programming-Technique...

I covered a few core concepts (e.g., functions as first-class citizens, closures, partial application, etc...) and added a few real world examples of using a functional centric design. The text/format has some rough edges, but overall I think the text is useful for internalizing how to leverage a functional-ish approach.

Other resources.

I see there is a short section about Python (6 resources).

I have been maintaining for the last 5 years a slightly richer collection at: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python/

1) It's not released on PyPI (there is a different project with the same name).

2) How different / better is it that the similar projects listed on: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python ? (Also: feel free to make a pull request if you want your project listed).

Cool, I thought it was dead (like the fictional character called, coincidently, "Snake"). I see that active development has restarted 6 months ago, seemingly. Kudos to everyone involved, specially @Kodiologist who seems the main contributor over the recent period.

(Shameless plug: more functional languages that look like Python, or compile to one of the Python VMs: https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-functional-python#lang... ).
