Zusammenfassung
Edsger Dijkstra hat es in seiner Vorlesungsankündigung treffend ausgedrückt: Die Vorstellung, dass Funktionen selbst wieder Argumente und Resultate anderer Funktionen sein sollen, ist erst einmal ungeheuerlich.
The functions I grew up with, such as the sine, the cosine, the square root, and the logarithm were almost exclusively real functions of a real argument. ... I was extremely ill-equipped to appreciate functional programming when I encountered it: I was, for instance, totally baffled by the shocking suggestion that the value of a function could be another function.
