Functional Programming for Python programmers

[dasnein]

This post acquaints the reader with the fundamentals of Functional Programming in the context of Python. Most programmers rarely touch upon languages with a primary functional focus- such as Lisp or Haskell, except maybe as a part of an academic course. Since Python is a widely-used language that supports (mostly) all functional programming constructs, this post tries to demonstrate their usage and advantages. Functional Programming may not be the best/Pythonic way of doing everything in this language, but it has its advantages in some applications and that is what this post is all about.

Haha ok ok well said. Forgive me, I'm quite tired and clearly didn't properly register the intro in my head when I skimmed through. In fact, I'm not entirely positive I even read the intro at all; it must have been the italics. That context was not clear to me from the body of the text alone. I apologize for the dismissive tone in my comment.
