On the Significance of Recursion

Read Original

The author discusses the significance of recursion in functional programming, particularly in F#, challenging the common belief that it is inherently inefficient. The article explores why recursion is often de-emphasized in beginner education and argues that avoiding it limits developers, especially when dealing with complex scenarios like asynchronous predicates. It includes a technical example illustrating the need for recursive solutions when core library functions fall short.
