In as much as structured programming of the 70s and object + oriented programming in the 80s and generic programming in the 90s shaped our + thoughts towards a more robust sense of software engineering, FP will certainly + be a paradigm that will catapult us towards more powerful software design and + engineering onward into the new millennium. + </p> +<p> + Let me quote Doug Gregor of Boost.org. About functional style programming libraries: + </p> +<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p> + <span class="emphasis"><em>They're gaining acceptance, but are somewhat stunted by the ubiquitousness + of broken compilers. The C++ community is moving deeper into the so-called + "STL- style" programming paradigm, which brings many aspects of + functional programming into the fold. Look at, for instance, the Spirit parser + to see how such function objects can be used to build Yacc-like grammars + with semantic actions that can build abstract syntax trees on the fly. This + type of functional composition is gaining momentum.</em></span> + </p></blockquote></div> +<p> + Indeed. Phoenix is another attempt to introduce more FP techniques into the + mainstream. Not only is it a tool that will make life easier for the programmer. + In its own right, the actual design of the library itself is a model of true + C++ FP in action. The library is designed and structured in a strict but clear + and well mannered FP sense. By all means, use the library as a tool. But for + those who want to learn more about FP in C++, don't stop there, I invite you + to take a closer look at the design of the library itself. + </p> +<p> + So there you have it. Have fun! See you in the FP world. + </p> +</div> +<table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> +<td align="left"></td> +<td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 2002-2005, 2010 Joel de Guzman, Dan Marsden, Thomas Heller<p> + Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
