In the “Functional Programming in Python: Lessons from Haskell and Clojure,” talk, Anthony Khong assesses Python as a functional programming language. As a point of reference, Anthony compares Python against Haskell and Clojure to assess each language in terms of immutability, functional core and reusable data. Topics explored include writing idiomatic code while benefiting from functional programming, stateful interface in third party libraries and maximal function reuse.
