Featured interview

“The wider use of generator functions in Python 3 has made functional Python programming much more common.”
— Steven F. Lott

We recently interviewed Steven F. Lott, a programmer since the 70s, a true Python professional and best-selling author of a number of Python books.
In this interview, Steven talks a bit about modern Python and how the language adapts well to the Functional paradigm, offering developers a range of solutions to build modern, cloud-based applications.
