Mixing generics and functional programming simplifies writing some extensibility libraries tremendously. For example, combining these techniques makes it easy to create a generic Undo library.

Paul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason's Functional Programming in Scala "is not a book about Scala," say the authors, rather it is a principled introduction to functional programming that relies on ...

Bjarne Stroustrup is on a mission to simplify generic programming. In a recently published paper titled “Concepts: The Future of Generic Programming,” Stroustrup makes the case for concepts as ...

It can apply STL-like generic programming to Swing clients, generic parameterization, some generic arithmetic on Number subclasses, but has a few function methods providing basic operations. Another ...

Newly introduced in Go 1.18, generics reduce the amount of boilerplate you need in your code, without sacrificing backwards compatibility Many programming languages have the concept of generic ...

A new draft to add support for generic programming to Go is centered around the concept of contracts, which are used to constrain type parameters to types and functions. The draft also introduces ...

Functional programming has been around for the last 60 years, but so far it’s always been a niche phenomenon. Although game-changers like Google rely on its key concepts, the average programmer ...

Go developers still cite generics as the top missing feature of the popular Go programming language.

Functional programming is a significant paradigm shift in the software world over the past 10 years. Slowly but surely, it has moved from a niche feature of a few uncommonly used languages to a ...
