It will not be we make apps for the WATCH 5 and the other future iOS devices. It will be a group of developers very much like us. But with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses. More confident, far-seeing, and capable of using functional paradigms. For all of our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we developers are capable of greatness.

1. Imperative  prog5amming  is  old  and  busted

3. Ge?ing  starCed  with  f&nctional  prog5amming  in  Swist  is  super-­‐easy

old

and

busted

functional programming

• It’s been around forever

• But only in universities (ew)

what is functional programming?

• Treat computation as the result of functions

• Avoid mutable state and data

f&nctional  prog5amming  tells  the  computer

instead  of

what to do

how to do it

getting started

is

super-easy

code

3. Ge?ing  starCed  with  f&nctional  prog5amming  in  Swist  is  super-­‐easy

so where now?

• Swift promised functional patterns

• Failed to deliver

• Community is picking up the slack

make

better mistakes

tomorrow
