Computation Abstraction: Going beyond programming language control syntax, or what we’ve missed from FP for so long in mainstream


For a long time, and due to the lack of main FP concepts in most mainstream languages, we missed opportunities to abstraction and code expressiveness and conciseness. With today’s democratization of FP, Computational Abstraction is what will enable us to be less dependent on specific programming language syntax offering; creating libraries of control structures and composition forms that help find concise and expressive solutions to enterprise programming challenges (null, lists treatment, error handling), capturing elegantly important business concepts in code, and programming at the right level of abstraction.
