## Source excerpt

or, How I Learned to Love Functional Programming We recognize that not every reader has an appreciation for functional programming. Yet here on this blog, we've done most of our work in languages teeming with functional paradigms. It's time for us to take a stand and shout from the digital mountaintops, "I love functional programming!" In fact, functional programming was part of this author's inspiration for Math ∩ Programming. And so, to help the reader discover the joys of functional programming, we present an introduction to programming in Racket, with a focus on why functional programming is amazing, and a functional solution to a problem on Project Euler.
