I'm a very beginner in the FP field, but you can count me in the field of those that don't see FP and OOP exclusive (I'm not talking of languages, just design).
Back to a previous statement: > ant and maven build scripts - Errr ... They are more declarative than functional. Hmm.. I'd leave ant, which is rather hybrid in nature, but I've always thought of Maven as being strongly functional. Of course it's not completely functional, as there's the life cycle, but artifacts are a function of another artifact or a set of other resources. I don't see a contradiction in the fact that it's declarative, as this just means that there's a standard set of functions that you just parametrize. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
