Why async
and
functional
programming
in PHP7 suck
and how to
get over it?

5 years of
imperative
programming
2 years of
functional

Back to
PHP7

❏ What can
functional
programming
bring to the
table?
❏ When language
can be
described as
functional?

Fundamental concepts in functional programming
❏ Function is a first-class citizen
❏ No side effects
❏ Immutability
❏ Lambda Calculus

First-class citizen
❏ Can be stored in variable and data structures
❏ Can be passed as a parameter to procedure/functions
❏ Can be returned by procedures/functions
❏ Can be instantiated inline
❏ Has it’s own identity (name independent)

No side effects? Immutability?
:(

Lambda Calculus
ƛ(x) = z
❏ Higher-order functions
❏ Currying

Functional vs Object oriented programming
?

PHP7 is functional
…but is dirty and salty as well

What do I miss in PHP7 that Scala
luckily has?

❏ Immutability by default
❏ Objects cloning
❏ Options
❏ Either
❏ Future
❏ Tail recurrency
❏ Generic types
❏ Arrow functions
❏ Pattern matching / case classes
