Functional Programming eXchange 2009: Sadek Drobi on Computation Abstraction
Computation Abstraction
For a long time, and due to the lack of main FP concepts in most mainstream languages, we have missed opportunities for abstraction, code expressiveness and conciseness. With today's democratization of FP, Computational Abstraction is what will enable us to be less dependent on what specific programming language syntax may offer, creating libraries of control structures and composition forms that help find concise and expressive solutions for enterprise programming challenges (null, lists treatment, error handling), elegantly capturing important business concepts in code, and programming at the right level of abstraction.
