Motivation for Functional Programming

Functional programming is an application of the Lambda Calculus to computer programming

Some Advantages of Functional Programming

  • Functional programming is theoretically sound because it is closely based on the Lambda Calculus, one of the two main mathematical systems that underlie the theory of computer science.

  • Functional programming makes it easier to deal with concurrency. Writing an error-free program for a multithreaded environment is difficult, and a strictly functional approach limits the interaction between parts of your program.
