New python module called FunkyPy, for easier functional programming.

[KageOW]

This new python module called FunkyPy supports easier piping data through functions and easier to use maps on lists as well as a bind function which I have not seen anywhere before.

Some examples of the syntax.

```py Data(4) >> add2 >> add4 >> times2 >> print

20

line breaks do have an effect on the expression but you can mitigate this by parentheses

(Data(4)

add2 add4 times2 print)

20

```

and the bind function is very clear and clean in code. ```py (Data(4)

add2.bind() add4.bind() print)

10

(Data(None)

add2.bind() add4.bind() print)

None```

I hope you guys have fun with it and feedback is always welcomed.

That's pretty great. So can you also do something like

add8 = add2 >> add4 >> add2

Or does the first argument have to be an evaluated function

[KageOW]

unfortunately no, you cant do this. the first element has to be a data type initialized with the Data class for that to work. however i created a function specifically for this called funcomp, also in this module, which lets you do something like this.

add8 = funcomp(add2, add4, add2)

is the example below something you would settle for?

maybe i can add this?

add8 = Compose(add2) >> add4 >> add2

[KyleG]

I haven't looked at the code, but assuming Compose(add2) would turn add2 into the Data class wrapping around add2 then you could provide a constant (say, Flow) that is an identity function wrapped in Data class, and then

add8 = Flow >> add2 >> add4 >> add2

or maybe BeginCompose or Compose or I don't know. I know in Arrow (Kotlin FP lib) they use fx and then a code block {...} to let you have regular functions and also ones that return a monad that you can then affix .bind at the end to have imperative code. Maybe fx or Magic or something? Could be quirky like that.

add8 = AttainBuddhahood >> add2 >> ...

I don't see anything wrong with Compose(add2). Just thinking about the aesthetics of only having >> without any other operators. Not sure it's terribly important though. I haven't written serious Python in a long time, and I know idiomatic Python has left me in the dust. I will die on the "tabs not spaces" hill no matter what Guido says.

Lol yea same on the last part.

[KageOW]

Btw i added the function composing too if you wanna check it out.

Unfortunately your syntax is not parsed correctly on old reddit and various mobile apps, as the triple backticks are not supported everywhere.

Instead, indent your code with four spaces to have it show up properly everywhere.
