[New Concept] Functional Programming

[colinleach]

In #493, I implied that a PR of Functional Programming was imminent, and we should review them as a pair. A mere 6 weeks later, here it is.

Concept exercises are not an obvious choice.

• For Functions, locomotive-engineer is probably not a great choice for R, but I don't know what is.
• For Functional Programming, we could probably modify julia/cheese-club to fit.

Until we know the exercises, I've left the Introductions blank.

Also, my visitors arrive 2 days from now, staying till next Wednesday, so I'll be otherwise occupied.

Is there something in clojure/coordinate-transformation` we could adapt??

Also, it reminds me that I could mention compose() somewhere. It's in purrr, and allows Julia-style f ∘ g function composition.

I looked over everything, and it looks good to me. That said, the purrr library is unfamiliar to me, so I can't give detailed feedback on that section, but I found it informative.

My visitor (aka Dad) arrived yesterday, and I'll be traveling on Friday, so I may be otherwise occupied for a bit as well, but I should be able to find some time, since I'll largely be spending time with family, and that doesn't necessarily mean spending all my time with family.

Is there something in clojure/coordinate-transformationwe could adapt??

I'll try to take a closer look at clojure/coordinate-transformation later today when I have to give my Dad his requisite break time to scroll through his endless feed of AI slop.

I'll also look at julia/cheese-club, but I'm initially inclined to agree that it might be workable as well.

Just the one thing
