Elixir is a programming language for the Erlang VM. It starts off with simple, introductory topics and explains concepts of functional approach to programming. I still don't do much functional programming in my data to day life beyond the occasional bit of Scala hacking, but I find that functional concepts make it really easy to break down certain kinds of problems regardless of which language I'm using. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. I want to listen to what each “ side” is excited about — not for The upshot of all this is that having a library of functional bits to work with well complements for me working in an agile approach. I thought for a long time that functional programming could be the solution, and studied it in detail. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming. For example, it's really easy to write a binary search implementation using a functional approach. You may find this approach freeing or frustrating, depending on your own background! The sneaky thing this stub does is captures and exposes .. The functional programming in Groovy is actually very similar to Javascript and the approach is almost the same. The book assumes no prior knowledge of Haskell or functional programming. Have you heard about functional programming but not sure what all the fuss is about? So I was thinking in the shower about how agile technical practices and functional programming both aim for something like “good” code, but then it occurs to me that — no surprise — “good” doesn't tell me much. Some like my mentor become filled with joy when programming in a functional paradigm, I am still getting used to it but I definitely see its merits. Now we don't want to test Meteor itself, so the approach we've taken is to create a Meteor stub that acts as "bedding" for the Meteor app, so that when the application code is loaded, it has all the methods and helpers that Meteor normally provides.
