Hi, Is there "a manifesto" for functional programming. I mean like for example, here is the reactive manifesto http://reactivemanifesto.org/ and here is the agile manifesto http://agilemanifesto.org/ is there a functional manifesto ?

a better comparison might be "goto considered harmful" as a manifesto for structured programming

But collaborative editing has more meanings to me since it opens possibilities that may change the way we write programs. Structural editing is like solving an old problem cause by text syntaxes

Where do you host your clojure experiments? I'd like to build some experimental but public products. Is there any free or dirt cheap servers? AWS free tier can't really handle some things i want to use like kafka.

@kraulain there's the paper "Why Functional Programming Matters" and presentations of the same name

ericnormand19:07:28

but I have not seen anything boil FP down into a rallying message

ericnormand19:07:37

FP is old and big

ericnormand20:07:38

find a recent version of the presentation by John Hughes

ericnormand20:07:50

he's a good presenter and boils it down in those better than he does in the paper

ericnormand20:07:54

though the paper is good, too
