whyfp-scala

This is an attempt at reimplementing code examples from "Why Functional Programming Matters" by John Hughes in Scala.

I have implemented examples from chapters 3 and 4. Decided to skip chapter 5 because there's not enough context.

Notes:

  • Generally a majority of the code is a 1 to 1 rewrite
  • At some point I noticed that writing functions that take multiple parameter lists gives even better results because this feature of Haskell/Miranda is heavily relied on in the paper
  • I had to play around with Cons / List object to help with a) laziness b) apply/unapply
