The Evolution of Functional Programming in C++
summary
A concise history from ISO C++98 to C++23 showing which FP tools actually work: function pointers/objects and templates used to refactor a quicksort by passing partition strategies; C++11 lambdas, std::function and std::bind used to wire a perceptron prediction pipeline; template specialization compresses a bool stack into bitsets; C++20 Concepts replaces SFINAE for Haskell‑like typeclass emulation; std::ranges views filter and join implement lazy second‑degree social queries; error handling moves from optional to std::expected; performance remains empirical — profile to decide.
