How functional programming mattered

In 1989 when functional programming was still considered a niche topic, Hughes wrote a visionary paper arguing convincingly ‘why functional programming matters’. More than two decades have passed. Has functional programming really mattered? Our answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’. Functional programming is now at the forefront of a new generation of programming technologies, and enjoying increasing popularity and influence. In this paper, we review the impact of functional programming, focusing on how it has changed the way we may construct programs, the way we may verify programs, and fundamentally the way we may think about programs

We show that techniques for monad composition can be used nicely for modeling object-oriented programming concepts. In this functional setting, we develop a new model for composing objects from individual features in a modular way. Features are similar to abstract subclasses, but separate the core functionality of a subclass from overwriting methods. We vie
