I would like to thnkx for the efforts you've put in writing this website. I'm hoping the same high-grade website post from you in the future too. Actually your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own web site going now. Actually blogging is spreading its wings and growing fast. Your write up is a good example. I've bookmarked your web page: http://johnnycoder.com/blog/2009/05/01/functional-programming-part-10/ and will check back often. Thanks for the good article!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

@Isxek – I love your question. I think experience in another paradigm like OOP can work against even the most experienced developer when trying to learn FP. Basically, all of those object-oriented principles, for example, go out the window and there’s a lot of “unlearning” which an experienced developer needs to overcome before they can grasp FP. So, if one is excited about FP, I think they should focus on it before any other paradigm.

That said, I can’t say there’s a recommended order in which to learn languages or paradigms because I don’t believe one really builds on top of the other. I think it is best to get a general understanding of each paradigm, consider the way your own brain is wired and then choose the best match. Also, there’s always a best tool for every job. If someone new to programming was going to be dealing with algorithms over big data, I would suggest they start with an FP language rather than something procedural. There’s really no correct answer here. It’s all about personal preference and sometimes what problem needs to be solved.

I hope I answered your question — at least a little. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the interesting slideshow on Functional Programming. I do have one question, though: is it better for those who are new to programming to learn about FP before learning other more “regular” languages? The articles and discussions I’ve seen so far seem to focus more on “inviting” more experienced programmers to learn FP.

Thanks again.
