Summary

One of the nice things about the Python language is it's at least 3 programming paradigms in one: There's the procedural style, object-oriented style, and functional style. This week you'll meet Evan Hubinger who is taking Python's functional programming style and turning it to 11. We're talking about Coconut. A full functional programming language that is a proper superset of Python itself.
