A library for functional programming in C++, including support for immutable algebraic data types.
Functional C++ was initially developed for a talk given at the Brisbane
Functional Programming Group. Slides for the talk are available in the
doc directory.
The library is in the very early stages of development. For now, it just contains a strict, boxed sum type, a strict, unboxed optional-value type, basic pattern-matching, and some simple examples.
In time, I hope to include better pattern matching, lazy evaluation, a selection of immutable data structures, useful higher-order abstractions, QuickCheck-style testing, and documentation.
Functional C++ is a C++11 library, so you'll need a recent C++ compiler,
building in C++11 mode. I am using GCC 4.7.0, with g++ -std=c++11.
There are no library dependencies other than the C++11 standard library.
Currently, it is an include-only library, so you just need to ensure your
compiler can find the files in the include directory.
