Busy Developer’s Guide to Functional Languages
Functional languages have become the new media darling in programming, and for many developers not familiar with them from their university days, the renewed interest seems mysterious and mind-boggling. What does a functional programming language offer that a traditional object-oriented language like Java or C# doesn’t?

No prior experience with functional languages is necessary. |
