Have you made any new year resolutions?

Where are the book clubs? Are they the same as the Journals?

We can use the Journals section for them Finner Currently there is only one book club (Programming Erlang Book Club) but I am sure we’ll start more soon. When I get a chance I’ll post a general thread about book clubs so we can all throw in ideas and see which ones others might be interested in

The book is certainly relevant for functional programming languages too. While I wrote most of the code in object-oriented style, the core concepts are relevant for virtually all languages. It might be an interesting exercise to adapt some of the algorithms and write them in functional style.

Ah nice! I wonder if perhaps it might be worth you writing an accompany blog post or something that highlights any differences or anything you might do differently in a functional language? (Assuming it’s not already covered in the book).

When I saw your video on the PragProg site it immediately reminded me of this one by Joe Armstrong:

Reversing a list

(I guess some things may need to change for functional languages that are immutable like Elixir and Erlang - hence wondering whether an accompanying blog post might be worth doing?)
