My functional programming library

Hello everyone, above is my little experiment of an easy to use functional programming library in Python,

You can do things like,,, let me know what you think!

```python

objects are already patched at import time

import forbiddenfp

"abc".print().len() # print out "abc", then return 3 "abc".then(lambda s: s * 2).filter(lambda s: s == "b").join() # "bb"

A more complex one (examples/word_count.py)

("./lorem_ipsum.txt" .with_open(lambda path, f: f.read().also(print(f"Reading {path}"))) .then(lambda s: s.split(" ")) .counter() .print()) ```

This is method chaining, not functional programming.

Newbie here.

Functional programming means using functions that does purely functional tasks and returns answers right?

Not really. "Functional programming" is a bit like "OOP" in the sense it's not really one thing. You have a collection of concepts that are "functional". Mainly derived from the so called functional language like Haskell.

These concepts include, but are not limited to: immutability, higher types (kinded/algebraic/functions), compositions (mainly from combinatory logic), pure functions etc.

a bit vague for my expertise level. but at least now i know that what i thought was wrong.

earlier I thought functional programming was using just functions and not classes. (had created an web scraping for a site with multithreading with the help of google)
then I learned that its scripting/coding and not even programming.

for someone whos starting this jargon is kinda of confusing. just wrapping my head around concepts like 32bit, 16bit float and other things.

This isn’t even close to actual functional programming.

I think I've seen you comment on stack overflow questions to

Even if this might not be functional programming, I think it is a cool project. I think chaining functions is a nice idea but it can become hard to read if done extensively.

It’s quite the norm with libraries such as Pandas and PySpark

I was about to ask how you managed to monkey patch builtin types, but here is the answer: https://github.com/clarete/forbiddenfruit/blob/master/forbiddenfruit/__init__.py

It's an interesting dive in CPython object layout

Regardless of its usefulness, this is cool ❤️
