Will There Ever Be Something on Treehouse That Teaches "Functional Programming With Swift?"

Amit Bijlani ,Pasan Premaratne :

I've been doing object oriented programming (OOP) in iOS with both Objective-C and Swift, but seeing as how Swift is a hybrid language that uses both OOP and functional programming concepts, I think it would be nice to learn the functional side of Swift.

Functional code is much faster and you can get a lot more done with a lot less code; so I'm wondering, will Treehouse will ever have a course or workshop on functional Swift programming?

There certainly will be but I can't comment on timelines yet. I would love for us to have functional content so I'm going to try and make it happen. It's just a lot more difficult to grasp than OOP (which is quite difficult for beginners as well) so a lot of it will depend on demand.

I would love to see this as well :)
