Functional Thinking: Thinking Functionally, Part 3
From the summary:
Functional thinking series author Neal Ford continues his guided tour of functional programming constructs and paradigms. You’ll look at number-classification code in Scala and take a glance at unit testing in the functional world. Then you’ll learn about partial application and currying — two functional approaches that facilitate code reuse — and see how recursion fits into the functional way of thinking.
Perhaps you will (also) learn a new way to think this year! 😉
Question: If data is too big to move, it is also too big to change and maintain referential integrity? Or is size an issue or simply an excuse? In an open and distributed architecture we cannot know (or find) all the references to our data.
