Kevlin Henney explores non-functional programming habits and shows how to express them in a more functional, declarative style.
This talk was recorded at Craft Conference 2022. Kevlin Henney from Curbralan company spoke about Non-Functional Coding. Many developers aspire to use functional programming, either directly in a functional language or by adopting a more functional style in hybrid and non-functional languages. There are many benefits to a functional approach, but there also many cases where day-to-day programming habits are contrary to functional thinking or where language constructs are at odds with the functional paradigm. This talk explores non-functional practices that developers may not realise they are using and, in a number of languages, shows how to express them in a more functional way.
The event was organized by Crafthub.

On “How do you conceptualize the difference between ‘Imperative’ vs ‘Declarative’ Programming?”
I just watched Kevlin Henney talk about the distinction.
For me it's the difference between what to do (declarative) vs how to do it (imperative).
