C++ doesn’t encourage functional programming, but it doesn’t prevent you from doing it, and you retain the power to drop down and apply SIMD intrinsics to hand laid out data backed by memory ...

Functional programming is a significant paradigm shift in the software world over the past 10 years. Slowly but surely, ... C++ offers the ability to opt-in to immutability.

Elliott Rusty Harold is blogging that functional programming in Java is dangerous . He's wrong, and he's way late to the party on this one--it's coming to Java whether he likes it or not.

For example, JavaScript, Lua, and Perl 6 are scripting languages that support functional programming; C++ 11, C# 3+, and Rust are C-like languages that support functional programming; and MATLAB ...

Functional programming has been around for the last 60 years, but so far it’s always been a niche phenomenon. Although game-changers like Google rely on its key concepts, the average programmer ...

Functional programming languages have their space and use, but I’m not convinced that 8 bit microcontrollers is where it’s at. ... For that matter C++ signature matching is the same concept.

As Jansen notes, C++ hit a high point in 2003 with a 17.53% share that put it in the top three programming languages. One possible reason for the resurgence in interest in C++ is the arrival of C++20.

Because of C++11, C++ was slowly going uphill in the TIOBE index after having been in a constant decline since 2001. The second land mark is the recent C++20 publication," notes Jensen.
