Re: [PHP] Functional Programming Style?

Beyond that. Anything to suggest?

The requirement is for a peer-peer agent-based situation-theoretic 
backward-chainer with quasirealtime browser feedback. A functional 
paradigm is indicated, with monads and all that. All the rest of the 
site is PHP-driven, so it could make sense to do as much as possible 
(on the server side) in php.

It looks on the surface that if we stay away from arrays. and we make 
all functions side-effect free (essentially no overlapping internal 
variables) and we center the state of results on the browser (a 
natural for php), then we will be much of the way there, especially 
if we carefully limit scope as much as possible.

Since we have language heaviweights on the list, thought perhaps 
there would be some insights into this. Thought also, that the list 
would appreciate a different question than the same old, same old, 
same old...

Best, Ted
