| | | | | Purpose of this post is to providea glimpse of the new features included in Java 8 that shiftthis language towards a more Functional Programming paradigm. But before, let's define what we understand for Functional Programming (FP). Functional programming key characteristics include: Higher Order Functions Pure Functions and Immutability Tail Call Recursion Higher Order Functions for a FP language means that functions are considered first class citizens, allowing the programmer to use them as any other value the language defines, for example, a Function value: | |

Strongly typed language, where you explicitly what type (variable, arguments, and function returns), syntax reminds dynamic languages with Python, Go, Ruby and JavaScript. Apple offers a free comprehensive guide on language in HTML and iBook formats. We can put zero left freely to improve readability, insert _ to separate groups of numbers and add the + in front. That server to improve readability of the program (does not alter the value of the number): let a = 1000000 let b = 0.0000001 // readable let a = 1_000_000 let b = 0.000_000_1 Practical numerical ranges: 0..5 and 0...5 (Ruby) Unicode variables: let ? = 3.1415926 Tween strings (expand variables and expressions inside strings): var name = "Thiago Avelino" var yaer = 25 println "Hi, my name \(name), 'm \(year) years." Few functions/methods native to strings works: hasPrefix hasSuffix uppercaseString lowercaseString countElements isEmpty Not have regular expressions Ternary operators: (condition ? yes : no) I liked the language, as 'm used to not bother me Go explicit types, lack of regular expression can be a problem seems, but it is a pleasant language to learn! | ||
