@bascule So, what part of “programming with functions” made you think I was talking about “functional programming?” -
@raganwald they’re usually not functions, they’re state-mutating procedures or subroutines - 1 more reply

@bascule@raganwald I would add "structure of code mirroring structure of data" (ADTs, p.matching) but people will debate this -
@whitequark@bascule I would call that “Programming with Types.” ML does this, for example, without being “pure functional.” -
@raganwald@bascule that is a good definition
