| | I previously talked about what functional programming is by comparing it to other programming paradigms. This post expands on that post to talk specifically about practical differences between functional programming and the paradigm most of us are intimately familiar with - imperative. This post is punctuated with some quotes from the book An Introduction to Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus. It's worth noting that each of these practical differences are enabled because of the power of referential transparency.
