I have never given much attention to functional programming just out of prejudice.

Now I read this blog and my head just exploded in the functional part.

It's beautiful.

What good introductions to functional can you people point me to?

Also, good code is like prose. You write to other to read, and you need to guide their minds.

Of course you can write in dense, truncated and clever ways, but your audience will be small (even yourself won't like your own prose 6 months from now).

Good software is delightful to read.
