As a usable programming construct though it did. I mean, Lambdas came from the Lambda calculus which predates FP. Type inferencing was also formulated as part of typed Lambda calculus. Pattern matching definitely came about prior to FP; SNOBOL (and its predecessor COMIT) is probably the first language that really made it 'a thing'. Very few things FP uses came from FP; they came from underlying Math and CS, and are themselves specific formulations and implementations that fit within the context of broader well understood concepts. |
