Not really.
Functional programming for me has a feeling of a mathematically sound foundation: This means a statically typed language with a powerful type-system and type inference. Immutability/effect system are a big plus. Broad range of data-structures and a decent object system are nice, too.
- Retric 14y agoI have no idea why you think statically typed languages have anything to do with Functional programming.
- soc88 14y agoThat's my second sentence.

- anamax 14y ago> Functional programming for me has a feeling of a mathematically sound foundation: This means a statically typed language with a powerful type-system and type inference. Mathematical soundness does not require type inference. It's unclear whether it requires static typing. And, it can easily get by with almost no type-system.
