# Functional Programming Face-Off: Python vs JavaScript vs Go!

This repository contains the code examples and resources for my YouTube video where I compare and contrast the functional programming capabilities of Python, JavaScript, and Go.

## Video Description

In this video, we dive deep into the world of functional programming, exploring how Python, JavaScript, and Go each embrace (or sometimes resist) its core principles.

As a fan of functional programming, I'll guide you through a practical comparison of how these languages handle concepts like:

* **Defining Functions:** Basic syntax and type systems.

* **First-Class and Higher-Order Functions:** Treating functions as values and passing them to other functions.

* **Closures:**  Functions that "remember" their surrounding scope.

* **Partial Application:** Creating new functions by fixing some arguments.

* **Currying:** Transforming functions with multiple arguments into a sequence of single-argument functions.

* **Immutability:** Ensuring data remains unchanged.

* **Map/Filter/Reduce:**  Working with collections of data in a functional way.

* **Compose:** Combining simple functions to build complex operations.

We'll evaluate which language offers the most natural and concise support for functional programming, considering built-in features and syntax. Join me as we explore the functional side of Python, JavaScript, and Go!
