Practical Functional Programming in C++
summary
Argues that functional techniques are practical in modern C++ by showing actual code: uses std::function and C++11 lambdas to store callbacks in a MUD‑style trigger list, composes callables with std::bind and placeholders to reorder and fix arguments, implements an asio echo server with nested lambdas, and builds async pipelines with futures, .then continuation chaining, when_all and a parallel transform_reduce (and mentions HPX and C++ AMP kernels). Examples compile and run, expose lifetime pitfalls (dangling refs, move-only captures) and debugging limits.
