Functional programming with Xtend
The document discusses the principles of functional programming compared to imperative programming, emphasizing immutability and first-class functions. It highlights the benefits of immutability in Java coding, including thread safety and improved readability, along with practical examples like the creation of immutable data types. Additionally, the document introduces concepts such as lambdas and higher-order functions as part of functional programming.
