    Telerik[^]:

    If we realign our thinking around functions as data, it enables us to discover alternative solutions to standard problems OOP.

    For those not quite ready to jump to F#

      @MarcClifton I found this article confusing in that I see in it a strange omission of what, to me, is an obvious optimization, and, imho, a lack of demonstrating what it purports to show. Specifics are in my comment on the article at Telerik: [^] Other opinions ? thanks, Bill

For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

        I know I'm not Marc (barring some truly bizarre philosophy concepts), but it seemed to me that the thrust of the article is more-or-less about practical handling of delegates for those that didn't walk into C# from a language that supports function pointers.

          Hi Nathan, While there is, indeed, only one 'Marc Clifton,' I did not intend to diminish the radiance of any of we 'lesser lights' by attempting to draw his attention to this thread. You may enjoy some recent posts by Marc on this thread: [^] At this point, vis-a-vis functional programming, I am just a voyeur attempting to figure out what the shadows on the walls of the cave ... refer to. cheers, Bill
