In the early days programming was considered a subdiscipline of mathematics. In fact, the very first person to write an algorithm was renowned as a mathematical genius. However, somewhere along the way we forgot. We began to think of ourselves as somethin[...]

For the past year I’ve been working almost entirely in F# and have found the experience to be everything I hoped it to be and better. In just six months I was able to bring a research project to fruition which has since made our company millions of dollar[...]

Continuing from last time, let’s look at how one goes from imperative pseudocode to pure functional using Gale-Shapely as an example. Overall, to convert an algorithm from imperative to functional is a fairly simple process once you understand how to conv[...]
