Functional programming is a set of skills

Definitions of functional programming disagree with each other and often don't encompass the broad range of languages and practices we find in industry.

We can find skills that functional programmers tend to use and not be incompatible. In this episode, I explore some important, high-level skills that functional programmers employ.
