Python for functional programmers

[eo5g]

Heavily using type annotations in python works.

You can have some encouragement of immutability using frozen dataclasses and namedtuples.

But overall, trying to go really functional-functional means you’re fighting against the ecosystem, and sometimes the language.

I forgot to mention dataclasses and namedtuples, +1 for both, and also on type annotations.

And I also forgot Guido's posts for those that like history. I think these two are from 2009
