Hi;
- Choose a problem that you have at hand
.
- Write the specification in haskell, using ADTs, do sequences,
applicative, alternative and pure code. so that every one can understand
the match of the code with the specification
- Make this specification run by adding class instances and function
definitions
- show how you have made not only a solution for this particular problem,
but a EDSL for all the problems of this kind.

Hi,
Recently our development team had decided to attempt using Haskell or Scala as one of our programming language.
(We had hoped some of our problem will be addressed through taking advantage of some element of FP, like immutability and Rx)
Most of our team members have fairly good knowledge of C, C++ and Java. And few of them, including myself, have been self-studying a FP language like Haskell and Scala since last year. Besides some early starters, functional programming is quite new to us.
When we held a lecture on FP, we found many of our developers were struggling in grasping some idea of FP.
They fumbled with writing functional programming style code. We kept on lecturing several times, but still not quite successful.
It seems more difficult than it looks - thinking in functional programming way for the long time C, C++ and Java developers.
Does anyone had an experience with initiating FP adoption into a large dev team without pain?
Our development team has around 300+ people.
Thanks.
