Thanks for the podcast, nice intro to functional programming! Listening through the podcast, I collected notes with some further links to http://etial.blogspot.com/2019/11/notes-on-lambdacast-category-theory-etc.html

.NET also had first class functions with anonymous delegates in C# 2, which supported lexical scoping so you could actually return a new delegate that captured the parameters or the outer state, basically exactly like lamda and Func<T>.

great host! very beginner friendly. great definitions by the guest also

always knew that definition but never thought that it means you can just focus on how data structures change (with each transformation aka function)

"We are going to express as much of our program as possible as pure functions"

call back functions as higher order operators

testing functions in combination with data structures

In this first episode we discuss the big picture ideas that make functional programming distinct from other styles of programming.  No experience required! If you're interested in learning what the fuss is about, this is the episode to start with.

1: Overview Of Functional Programming

LambdaCast is a podcast about functional programming for working developers. Our focus is to describe concepts using clear everyday language without watering anything down. If you've ever been curious about FP but were turned off by the jargon or unfamiliar concepts, this is the place to be.
