This article does not try to teach you functional programming in Go since imposing functional programming concepts, may result in unnecessarily awkward code. Go has its style, and it&rsquo;s proven to be highly successful. Therefore, there&rsquo;s no point in forcing a foreign dialect on Go code. Haskell would be a great choice if you want to express yourself functionally. </div> </div> <p>This article aims to provide imperative programmers a bridge to the functional world. Crossing that bridge and seeing the other side can help us reimagine problem-solving and add new skills to our set. We will encounter Go translations to some original Haskell code, hoping this will allow us to understand the original dialect.</p>
