The thing that students have the hardest time on when learning functional programming is how to process a recursive structure while maintaining some sort of "state", the result if you will. I'll attempt here to demystify the process.

Functional programming languages almost always use a lot of recursively defined structures. Depending on the language those can be implemented in various ways, but in any case the end result is the same. A structure of this type is either an "atom", i.e. an irreducible thing, or a "compound" consisting of substructures of the same form.

For example a "list" is either an Empty/Nil list (the "atom") or it is formed as a Cons of a value and another list (compound form). That other "sublist" can itself be empty or another cons and so on and so forth. A tree is similar. It is either empty, or it consists of a triple of a value and two sub-trees, left and right.

Almost every problem we encounter is a question about doing something with all entries in a structure. To solve these prob

【譯】Rust vs. Go

本文譯自 Julio Merino 2018 年七月撰寫的 Rust vs. Go 一文。Julio Merino 是 G 社僱員,在 G 社工作超過 8 年,無論工作內外,都接觸開發不少 Go 語言,並撰寫 [Rust 點評][rust-review]系列文,來聽聽他對 Rust 與 Go 的想法吧。

Thanks Julio Merino for this awesome article!
