I don't have a demonstration per se, But I see the big difference between the two paradigms as data flow vscontrol flow, Where the functional languages are more like data flow (or data transformation if you prefer) like say SQL vs control flow languages like C or OOP variants.
They both allow you to define data structures, but they fundamentally operate upon them in different ways. But like all languages there are overlaps that allow you to do the other type of flow (if/else & cursors etc. in SQL or say Linq in C#) if you prefer. Maybe I'm wrong - but the paradigm works in my head :-) On 15 June 2012 13:12, Joel Pobar <[email protected]> wrote: > Go watch http://vimeo.com/14313378, then read this: > http://web.mac.com/ben_moseley/frp/paper-v1_01.pdf and this > http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.pdf. > > > > On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 5:47 PM, Arjang Assadi <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Ok , been wondering about type of problems that according to functional >> purist makes F#, Haskel a must have tool. >> >> Can anyone suggest a (simple) problem to demontrate the effciency of >> handling it in F#, Haskel etc. vs C#? >> >> Anyone using any functional programming for real world anything that >> would not be possible/infeasible with C#? >> >> Regards >> >> Arjang >> >> >> > > -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
