Intro to Functional Programming in C++

Explore functional programming concepts in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk from C++Now 2014. Delve into topics such as Bruce Lee's philosophy, Alonzo Church's contributions, and Landon Backus' work. Examine the effects of functional programming, including purity, pure values, and pure lists. Learn about map operations, functions, fold techniques, and algebraic data types. Discover product types, zero types, bottom types, unit types, and sum types. Investigate unions, pools, post conditions, and inheritance. Gain insights into pure lists, magic products, and the functional approach to programming. Access accompanying slides for enhanced understanding of the presented material.
