Functional Programming (FP) is becoming a popular alternative to the
mainstream paradigms of Object-Oriented Programming and Procedural
Programming. Sometimes referred to as "Value-Oriented Programming," FP
helps programmers think with more mathematical precision and carries
many practical benefits to computing, like formal provability, algebraic
reasoning, stable concurrency, and a host of powerful deductions that
compilers can leverage for optimization. As a multi-paradigm language,
Python has received much attention from the FP world. This talk covers
the basics of the FP design philosophy and demonstrates its use in Python.
