Functional programming guerilla in the land of Rust
summary
Claims that Rust provides real functional tools: first‑class closures, algebraic enums, traits like type classes, hygienic macros and heap boxing. Builds a recursive function composition macro that expands to nested closures, works with functions, methods and iterators, and the optimizer removes allocation. Shows benchmarks show equal performance between macro-generated and hand‑written pipelines. Notes escape hatches (unsafe globals), nightly ergonomics for boxed closures, and procedural macros for more complex code generation.
