Don't mock me. And yes, I did mean the notion of mathematical value and variable. That's one of the core tenets of both.

Maybe from a big distance this is enough similarity to lump functional and logic programming together. But on closer inspection, functional and logic programs are still very different. > Don't mock me. I wasn't mocking you. You clearly must not understand functional and logic programming very well, if you think they are in some way “close”.

    They are somewhat close in paradigm: They both favor declarativism, and have mathematical values. Given, they're pretty far apart in paradigm, but those are some strong similarities.

      > declarativism I'm not familiar with that term. Could you give a rigorous definition? Anyway, after some googling, I found a very plausible definition that makes functional programming not a declarative paradigm: http://semantic-domain.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-declarative-languages-are.html http://semantic-domain.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-declarative...
