Loops do not go away in fp. They are just hidden under layers of abstraction.
- bawolff 5y agoMost fp loop-like things are recursion. Traditional iterative loops are abstractions over goto. Arguably a function call is an abstraction of goto (JMP)+stack manipulation. So they are both abstractions over goto, but i would say they are sibling abstractions not parent/child.
