Functional Programming with the aid of AI
Functional programming is a great alternative to imperative style of programming due to reduced complexity and ease of maintenance. However, most programmers have spent more time learning and practicing imperative style and often find it hard to program in the functional style. Hey, why not use AI to create functional style code? Great thought but we can't simply put AI on autopilot on this one. In this presentation, we will take an example driven approach to understand the power and perils of using AI to create functional style code.
