# Fn(), Functional Programming for Golang

[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/kamstrup/fn)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/kamstrup/fn) [![PkgGoDev](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/kamstrup/fn)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/kamstrup/fn)

Fn is library for golang that enable you to blend functional programming techniques

with standard idiomatic Go code.

We are inspired by [Clojure](https://github.com/clojure/clojure),

[Vavr](https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr), and the Java Streams APIs that were

introduced back in Java 8, and want to provide something of similar spirit

that makes it even more fun to write Go code.

## Documentation

You will find [comprehensive documentation in our docs folder](doc), or you might want to dive

directly into our [simple examples](https://github.com/kamstrup/fn/blob/main/examples/simple_test.go).

## Examples

```go

import (

    "fmt"

	

    "github.com/kamstrup/fn/seq"

)

func printGreenTeam() {

    blueTeam := seq.SliceOfArgs("Alan", "Betty")

    redTeam := seq.SliceOfArgs("Maria", "Bob")

    

    // Let's create a set of names for the people on the blue and red teams

    allTeamMembers := seq.ConcatOf(blueTeam, redTeam)

    nameSet := seq.Reduce(seq.MakeSet[string], nil, allTeamMembers).Or(nil)

    

    // We need 2 members for the green team, that are not already on the blue or red team

    greenTeam := seq.SliceOfArgs("Betty", "Maurice", "Bob", "Charles", "Inga").

        Where(seq.Not(nameSet.Contains)).

        Limit(2).

        ToSlice()

    

    if len(greenTeam) != 2 {

        panic("not enough team members for the green team")

    }

    

    // Members on the green team are assigned player numbers starting from 10

    greenTeamNumbers := seq.ZipOf[int, string](seq.RangeFrom(10), greenTeam)

    greenTeamNumbers.ForEach(func (member seq.Tuple[int, string]) {

        fmt.Println("Name:", member.Value(), "Number:", member.Key())

    })

    // Prints:

    // Name: Maurice Number: 10

    // Name: Charles Number: 11

}

```

## Performance

If the foundational functional data structures and algorithms is not done carefully,

execution speed and memory usage will suffer. Fn() is designed to make the best of what

the Go runtime can provide. Initial benchmarks puts it as a top contender among Golang

functional libraries. See benchmarks here https://github.com/mariomac/go-stream-benchmarks/pull/1
