As a teen, I wrote my first toy programmes in 6502 assembly. Immediately there after, I learned FORTRAN, C, and Pascal in quick succession. I was as happy an #imperative #programmer as one could get.

Then, in college in the early 1980s, I was introduced to LISP, Scheme, and ML, along with the #declarative paradigm. In those days, I felt guilty, whenever I caught myself thinking in the imperative way, which was mighty tempting in LISP and Scheme.

As decades wore on, my view of #procedural and #functional has soften from a "dichotomy" to an "admixture". I'm no longer purely procedural nor any longer am I purely functional; I'm now just purely pragmatic.

This is also the reason why all modern languages are OO-FP hybrids.

We all know and love those classic textbooks on #algorithms, like Knuth, CLR, Sedgewick, etc. But these traditional texts lean toward the #imperative approach, when describing implementations. It is uncommon to see books focused on the #functional approach to algorithm implementation. The following are a few of my favourites on functional algorithms and functional data structures:

• Algorithms: A Functional Programming Approach, Rabhi
• Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design (Haskell), Bird
• Purely Functional Data Structures (Standard ML), Okasaki
• Functional Programming and Graph Algorithms, King
• Functional Data Structures and Algorithms: A Proof Assistant Approach, Nipkow

YouTube - Jeremy Keith – Declarative Design – SOTR

Funnily enough, I was just thinking about #declarative vs #imperative stuff this evening (as you do).

This is a brilliant talk by @adactio and well worth the short investment of your time.

@AmenZwa The problem with reading books on #functional #programming is that they're all #imperative, #procedural, one sentence after another after another laid out in order. If functional programming is so great, the books should be some kind of crazy #recursive #ChooseYourOwnAdventure...

This is a real screenshot of actual production code. It ran for years and helped putting lots of food on the table. #refactoring #programming #imperative #codinghorror

I wonder if there's a purely #functional or #imperative flask framework for #python fork

Plasma Programming Language - Plasma Programming Language

I am a middle-aged dad / husband / #programmer / Australian / vision impaired / #skiier.

I work on #Firefox, lately working on measuring and lowering memory footprint. Mostly in C++

I created a new programming language #proglang called Plasma https://plasmalang.org. It blends #imperative and #declarative programming and will have great #parallelism and #concurrency support.

I like to #ski, even though I have about 15% of normal eye-sight.

I like #science-fiction.
