| 30 | Sooner or later more FP techniques become standard practice as people find | |
| 31 | the true value of this programming discipline outside the academe and into | |
| 32 | the mainstream. In as much as structured programming of the 70s and object | |
| 33 | oriented programming in the 80s and generic programming in the 90s shaped our | |
| 34 | thoughts towards a more robust sense of software engineering, FP will certainly | |
| 35 | be a paradigm that will catapult us towards more powerful software design and | |
| 36 | engineering onward into the new millennium. | |
| 37 | </p> | |
| 38 | <p> | |
| 39 | Let me quote Doug Gregor of Boost.org. About functional style programming libraries: | |
| 40 | </p> | |
| 41 | <div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p> | |
| 42 | <span class="emphasis"><em>They're gaining acceptance, but are somewhat stunted by the ubiquitousness | |
| 43 | of broken compilers. The C++ community is moving deeper into the so-called | |
| 44 | "STL- style" programming paradigm, which brings many aspects of | |
| 45 | functional programming into the fold. Look at, for instance, the Spirit parser | |
| 46 | to see how such function objects can be used to build Yacc-like grammars | |
| 47 | with semantic actions that can build abstract syntax trees on the fly. This | |
| 48 | type of functional composition is gaining momentum.</em></span> | |
| 49 | </p></blockquote></div> | |

| 51 | Indeed. Phoenix is another attempt to introduce more FP techniques into the | |
| 52 | mainstream. Not only is it a tool that will make life easier for the programmer. | |
| 53 | In its own right, the actual design of the library itself is a model of true | |
| 54 | C++ FP in action. The library is designed and structured in a strict but clear | |
| 55 | and well mannered FP sense. By all means, use the library as a tool. But for | |
| 56 | those who want to learn more about FP in C++, don't stop there, I invite you | |
| 57 | to take a closer look at the design of the library itself. | |
| 58 | </p> | |
| 59 | <p> | |
| 60 | So there you have it. Have fun! See you in the FP world. | |
