What
do you see as the biggest obstacles for adopting the FP
abstractions in "everyday programming thought"? I assume unlearning
previously-learned ways of approaching problems? (iterators vs.
recursion, etc)?
I have no problems with iteration or subroutines, so why do we need recursion? That is not to say for a quick and dirty program
I'll use it if need be,
but the problem with general recursion is stack overflow and how do you
handle that?
With well-defined exit conditions. ;) -Dave
