Hello,
First off, merry christmas! :)
As you all know, a good example is often better than a long
dissertation. So let us bring together the best examples we know off!
Most examples used in presentations are usually easely and elegantly
expressed in both paradigms (functional or imperative). This is the
case of fibonacci, quick-sort, and so on.
So here you can show your best examples which state a small problem
and how it can be elegantly done in one paradigm while being awkward
to do in the other. It would be nice if the examples are problem
centric since the aim is not to show how we can express things that
cannot be expressed in the other paradigm, but how the particular
problem can be more elegantly handled.
The second kind of examples looked after, and needing more deeper
insights, is how mixing imperative and functional styles would combine
wonderfully together or lead to unavoidable issues.
I'm curious to see what this brings...
cheers
PS: ...i know that both paradigms lead to "other ways of thinking" and
that examples may sound too "superficial". Yet, i'm convinced that
well chosen examples can also plunge the reader into thinking about
these.
