Re: How to visualise relations, bahavior and so on in functional programming ?

And Data Flow Diagrams? I learnt about them while studying structured analysis and design at University, but I always thought they did not match very well with imperative programming...     Rubén Donell Jones escribió: Thanks for your reply. I think flowchart make sense but I can´t imagine how a big project can be visualised with that (???). I think no manager in the world would make a big project without a good documentation ... nah I know there are some :) On 11 Mai, 15:01, Jarkko Oranen <chous...@gmail.com> wrote: On May 11, 11:18 am, Donell Jones <alliwantisca...@googlemail.com> wrote: Hi Team, I am really interested in functional programming. But I am asking myself, what if the project get bigger, like the software Runa realise with Clojure. In OOP we got diagrams like UML to visualise this. But what can we do in FP ? Are there any diagrams that can be used to explain things ? I think this is very important when it comes to documentation. I think a flowchart might be useful. In functional programming there is a tendency to model things as a pipeline of transformations, instead of as interactions between code modules (classes), so visualizing how your data flows from its source to its endpoint will be useful. On a larger scale you might want to map out the relationships between namespaces, which procedures deal with state, etc. Unfortunately I don't know any tools to generate call graphs and such from clojure code, but hopefully my suggestions will at least inspire a few ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
