Intro to Functional Programming in Rust • Amit Dev • YOW! 2019

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2019. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Amit Dev - Deeply Interested in Functional Programming & Applying Functional Techniques in Software Design ABSTRACT Rust is a multi paradigm language with performance and safety as primary goals. Rust is strongly influenced by functional programming languages like ML, so it is possible to follow a functional coding style. In this talk I will explore the features of Rust that makes it a good choice for functional programming as well as its drawbacks. Following areas will be covered: • Algebraic Data Types • Pattern matching • Brief overview on Ownership and Lifetimes in Rust • Higher order functions and combinators • An extended example that makes use of the above as well as slightly advanced topics. In addition to the above the strengths and weakness of Rust as a functional programming language will be compared.
