C9 Lectures: Dr. Erik Meijer - Functional Programming Fundamentals Chapter 1 of 13

[@TremendousSax]

I like when he erases the parameters and right hand side of K and then re-writes exactly what he erased.

[@MrJC1]

hahahaha. i thought i was losing it at first.

That's 19:34 for those of us coming here from the future when KZbin had a neat feature where you can link into a timestamp in the video within one's comments. Very functional ;)

Great lecture! Glad that you took the time to go over the history and background of functional programming - these were major computer science pioneers, and are usually forgotten about today. Also like your cheerful, upbeat attitude - it makes you a good and dynamic speaker. Good European style thoroughness. And you are right - most programmers and even computer scientists don't know their own history. Good Work. Cheers from Canada!

[@antoanbekele9369]

Its ironic that the presentation contains so many redundant "You Know"s for such a concise language. Great course!

[@tomdahulk]

Awesome! Thanks for all the history-- I really love that you started off giving a context to everything that you'll cover in the next lectures. Wonderful job guys! Thanks for piquing my interest in Functional Programming even more!

[@christiangruhl9441]

Nice introduction. Especially that you pointed out why and when it is a good idea to use functional programming over imperative programming :-)

[@charvakpatel962]

Not negative comment but Watching him giving lecture is funny. In my college some professors give lectures like their parents just died and came to teach us.

[@charvakpatel962]

***** ? You do understand that that was a compliment right?

[@badi1072]

Logesh Kumar R is a dirty, illiterate bitch.

[@0011usagi]

I know!

[@captainheretic]

You know

[@softwareminimalist]

Or whatever.. You know?

[@RaspberryPy]

Great lecture. I know Scheme a bit, but want to learn more Haskell.

[@educostadev]

In this talk you wil know the history of the Funcional Programming and who was the important names behind it.

[@umm_iter]

still referring to the book and lectures :)

[@PetiKoch]

Thanks Erik, excellent lecture!

[@OndrejPopp]

5:57 no resulting value and all that... ofcourse there is the return statement in java.... So this comparision is not exactly fair, because you are comparing an unfinished java implementation of a sum function with an application of an already implemented sum function in Haskell...

[@bocckoka]

The way he said Peter Landin just died was so disturbing... otherwise, great talk :)

[@readingRoom100]

if it makes u feel better, nobody "just died" when u saw this video, which was posted four years prior to your viewing it

[@mikelee3430]

This is great, thank you!

[@derekfrost8991]

I just think he should stop recommending hugs because I find it brittle. I write data which type checks but then chokes at runtime because hugs is not optimized for recursion, which is useless in haskell which relies on recursion for everything.. :)

[@IndelibLee]

Thanks.

[@privetvastutnestoyalo2339]

Slightly disappointing, that he compares function implementation in Java with a function call in Haskell. I don't think it's correct to compare different levels of abstraction.

[@inanme]

I was wondering why Scala has never been mentioned.

[@trybeee1]

Why it should be mentioned?

[@trybeee1]

Why it should be mentioned?

[@trybeee1]

Why it should be mentioned?

[@peque7338]

every time he says pitch , i always hear bitch =/

[@vyuutuube]

peque You're right you know...

[@RkKing1]

It's really good video. But why are u speaking 'you know' again and again....?

[@at5pm]

+Rk King thats the way he speaks. what an ungrateful brat are you, you know.

[@RkKing1]

+At five Pm Please don't take me wrong! i don't meant be ungrateful, i just wanted to give a feedback. His work is really admirable. I have come across several videos on youtube after all only this playlist seemed useful to me so i thought i should give feedback to make it more better.

[@EddTally]

+Rk King ahhh!! I shouldn't of read the comments, im hearing it every time now!

[@gofer9156]

Constantly saying "hmmm", "you know" etc in public talks is a sign of insecurity, and should correctly be criticized.

[@pinikmanob7335]

you just read english grammar books and never listened to people speak

[@joecotter6803]

Awful. Objectives of the language mixed up with the essence of functional programming. A poor historic survey too.
