Another new episode of the #RuntimeArguments #Podcast hosted by @jammcq and @YesJustWolf. This one is about #FunctionalProgramming. It’s a little over thirty minutes long. In this episode Wolf did the research and Jim asks the questions. What is functional programming? Famous functional languages. Functional features in modern languages. Using functional techniques to write better, more reliable, more easily tested code. It was great fun to research. We hope there’s something fun or helpful in the episode for you. As always, get it wherever you get your podcasts: "Runtime Arguments". #Functional #Programming.

#ITByte: #Functional #Interfaces were added in Java 8 with #Lambda expressions and Method references in order to make code more readable, clean, and straightforward.
A functional interface is an interface that contains exactly one abstract method. This means that a functional interface can be implemented by a lambda expression, which is a concise way to write a function.

Me: "I don't need no elitist #functional programming, I'll mutate my data structures in place! YOLO!"
Also me: "Why are there items missing from candidatesTo? Let me spend two hours debugging this 
"

for (const nextCandidateTo of toBySize) {
if (
nextCandidateTo.hash === currentTo.hash &&

Seven Ways to Turn Your #Entryway Into a More #Functional Space

Preprint of the longest paper I ever contributed to: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.08906 - it is a qualitative and quantitative comparison of various #functional #array languages, with a significant #gpgpu element.
arXiv.orgComparing Parallel Functional Array Languages: Programming and PerformanceParallel functional array languages are an emerging class of programming languages that promise to combine low-effort parallel programming with good performance and performance portability. We systematically compare the designs and implementations of five different functional array languages: Accelerate, APL, DaCe, Futhark, and SaC. We demonstrate the expressiveness of functional array programming by means of four challenging benchmarks, namely N-body simulation, MultiGrid, Quickhull, and Flash Attention. These benchmarks represent a range of application domains and parallel computational models. We argue that the functional array code is much shorter and more comprehensible than the hand-optimized baseline implementations because it omits architecture-specific aspects. Instead, the language implementations generate both multicore and GPU executables from a single source code base. Hence, we further argue that functional array code could more easily be ported to, and optimized for, new parallel architectures than conventional implementations of numerical kernels. We demonstrate this potential by reporting the performance of the five parallel functional array languages on a total of 39 instances of the four benchmarks on both a 32-core AMD EPYC 7313 multicore system and on an NVIDIA A30 GPU. We explore in-depth why each language performs well or not so well on each benchmark and architecture. We argue that the results demonstrate that mature functional array languages have the potential to deliver performance competitive with the best available conventional techniques.

I made something to try out and I'm working towards a UI framework for my personal projects. It's far from finished but perhaps this might be interesting to share.
positive-intentions.com · Dim: Functional Web Components | positive-intentionsModern JavaScript frameworks like React JS and Vue JS have popularized the functional programming paradigm and declarative approaches to web app development. While these frameworks have made creating dynamic web applications more accessible, it's worth exploring the potential of web components in this landscape. Lit elements, with its minimalistic and declarative approach, stands out as an appealing base for leveraging web components in modern web and app development.

Recovering from a cold, all symptoms gone except a little dry cough. Started to suspect that it might be #functional / #psychogenic as I noticed that I only coughed when my attention wasn't occupied by other things.
Delighted to easily find plenty of #nhs #physio advice online on how to suppress functional coughs. All very non-stigmatising, just very straightforward info. Cough not gone but nearly, enough to be allowed back in the bedroom (I was waking the toddler up by coughing!)
God bless the NHS 
Found this #python snippet in my code
ret = [mydict for mydict in mylist if mydict.get('somekey') == 'somevalue']
I did not now about the == at the end of the list comprehension .
I am pretty sure I red a blogpost about list comprehension that day :)
New blog and new blog post!

We're live this Friday with the first episode looking at functional programming, and so I thought I'd put together a collection of the material I've created over the years on the topic, in the form of presentations, documents and blog posts, in case you want to dive in before the first episode. Share & enjoy!

I'm looking for interesting new ways to bend (or break) my brain. Is there a #functional (first) #programming language that compiles down to single binaries?
I have some experience with F#, but it's been ages since I used it and I don't really like whatever "self-contained" .Net binaries are. 
Haven't tried Elm or Haskell yet.
Any recommendations?
