Mads Torgersen traces the history of functional programming features in C# and discusses why functional concepts suit cloud programming.

Two decades ago C# started out squarely in the camp of object-oriented programming languages. Ever since, though, there’s barely been a new version of the language that didn’t borrow concepts and features from functional programming; most recently with records. Let’s trace out this history, and also look at some functional concepts that we have yet to fit in nicely – but might in the future! No C# experience required.

C# language designer Mads Torgersen: "Essentially, when it comes to cloud programming, history is on the side of functional programming, I'm sorry. Object-oriented programming is not good for that. ... Encapsulation is dead. You need the data to be public."
