Meh. I just sent this to a friend of mine that knows nothing about coding, but is taking a class (biology) that uses python. She really has no need of functional programming, she just needs to know how to survive her problem sets. I think that's the audience.
- zedshaw 16y agoExactly. I taught programming, not dogma. Frankly, if I can teach two paradigms, and one is easy to explain while the other is hard, well I'm going to teach the easy one to explain. Functional programming is just hard to explain to people who know next to nothing. Especially in a language like Python where the functional concepts are kind of half-assed.
