Decorators and Functional programming
· 9 min read
I often see people ask how to "do functional programming in Python"—as if it requires special tools or libraries.
But the truth is, many Python developers are already using functional programming techniques without realizing it. One of the clearest examples is the use of decorators.
Decorators are not only a staple of modern Python codebases but also a practical bridge between traditional imperative programming and the functional programming paradigm.
