A Small Introduction to Functional Programming

• scala

  Scala 2 compiler and standard library. Bugs at https://github.com/scala/bug; Scala 3 at https://github.com/scala/scala3

  

Based on Lambda Calculus, developed by Alonzo Church in the 1930s, functional programming has been implemented in mainstream programming languages like JavaScript, Python and Java. Programming languages like Erlang, Haskell or Scala are better suited for functional programming as they are designed to be functional first.

• CPython

• racket

  188 4,686 9.7 Racket

  The Racket repository

  

Many developers consider Lisp the first functional programming language. For newer incarnations, we can try Common Lisp or Racket.

• HomeBrew

  1,281 39,303 10.0 Ruby

  🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

Haskell (1990 / Purely Functional) → If we’re on a Mac, the best way is to use homebrew and type on the terminal window:
