Functional types
================

[](#functional-types)

This library introduces useful interfaces and implementations for functional programming.

For now, it includes the following interfaces:

- `ConsumerInterface`
- `BiConsumerInterface`
- `TriConsumerInterface`
- `SupplierInterface`
- `FunctionInterface`
- `BiFunctionInterface`
- `TriFunctionInterface`

> Fun fact: It fits perfectly with [awurth/functional](https://github.com/awurth/functional-php)

What is wrong with PHP closures?
--------------------------------

[](#what-is-wrong-with-php-closures)

The short answer is: **inconsistent syntax**. I am willing to trade brevity for more consistent and structured code. Explicit interfaces make the purpose of each closure clear and predictable.

Disadvantages
-------------

[](#disadvantages)

- You cannot pass or obtain variable references.
- It is harder to bind context variables.
