Languages based on object oriented design and development have dominated the Agile landscape for quite a while. Functional languages like F#, OCaml, and Haskell, however, are growing in popularity and lend themselves very well to Agile development. Basic language constructs like strong typing with type inference, first-level functions, and immutable data elements work well with the basic concepts behind an Agile style of coding. This interactive demonstration will introduce the OCaml or F# programming language and then illustrate the ways that functional languages align with Agile by building a small application.
