The Imperatives Must Go! [Functional Programming in Modern C++]
summary
Claim: modern C++ already absorbs FP ideas and shows concrete code. Demonstrations include fmap for std::optional and lifted functions, use of Boost.hof and Lyft-style helpers, and ranges with lazy views showing composable, efficient pipelines. Covers implementing boxes (unique_ptr/optional/vector) as contexts, simple fmap implementations, and upcoming monadic extensions to std::optional/std::future/std::expected. Examples compile on recent toolchains and the GitHub repo links provide runnable snippets.
