I believe that there is a place for incorporating functional programming
aspects into 4d programming. As the size of a given function increases, we
have a tendency to grow the number of outside dependencies. (Database calls,
Non-locally scoped variables,etc...) Code that has a large number of

Difficulties implementing a functional approach arise f
Hi John,
Do the difficulties of a functional approach apply to almost any database-type
application, or is it more the issues with error handling in 4D?
Are there other circumstances where a functional approach works well, or is it
simply an ideal? Do object-oriented languages (Python/Java/Ape

Completely true. Changing the database is non-functional. You could try to
enforce this discipline, but I think it would be difficult to get real
I view it a little differently although my CS backround is old (graduated
in 1983 with MS)., Procerdural is a style which is baed upon a language,
COBOL for example ios a procedural based language. C++ is an object based
language. Not sure if this helps

Hello,
There seem to be at least two different "programming paradigms":
- Procedural programming, where the subroutines make changes to the system; and
- Functional programming, where called methods only return results to the
calling method (ie, the called method does not perform any work whi
