In the past months I have written a series of blog posts on functional programming with a particular (but by no means exclusive) focus on the Raku programming language. If you're curious about functional programming, I think this series might be a good if maybe somewhat challenging and idiosyncratic introduction. It starts with the very basics but covers some more advanced concepts further on.
The suggested reading order would be:
1. "Cleaner code with functional programming" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/decluttering-with-functional-programming/2. "Roles as Algebraic Data Types in Raku" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/roles-as-adts-in-raku/3. "List-based parser combinators in Haskell and Raku" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/list-based-parser-combinators/4. "Function Types" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/function-types/5. "Encoding types as functions in Raku" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/universal-interpreter-part-1/6. "A universal interpreter" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/universal-interpreter-part-2/
Not essential but fun: "Everything is a function" https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/everything-is-a-function/
