Delve into how concepts from Haskell and other functional languages have subtly permeated mainstream programming, including C++. Examine the evolution of C++ towards more functional paradigms, from lambdas and closures to composable STL algorithms and lazy ranges. Analyze various functional programming techniques in C++ and discover how they can lead to more concise, clear, and efficient code by adopting a declarative style. Investigate the functional aspects of the current STL, learn about algebraic data types (ADT), and preview upcoming functional programming features in future C++ standards. Gain insights into advanced concepts such as composition, lifting, currying, partial application, pure functions, and potentially pattern matching and lazy evaluation.
