The Future of Programming is Functional

Tom Schrijvers

Abstract

More and more mainstream programming languages are adopting concepts from Functional Programming. Good examples are the recent support for lambda expressions, streams and the Optional type in Java 8, the lambda functions in C++13 and the LINQ framework in C#. This talk traces these features back to their source in the Functional Programming paradigm and considers what Functional Programming has in store for the future of mainstream programming.
