函数式编程的核心是函数，就像面向对象语言的主要抽象方法是类。

At the core of functional programming is the function, just as classes are the primary abstraction in object-oriented languages.

大多数的语言，无论是好的还是差的，都生来伴随着一些鼓励使用的编程范式——面向对象的，函数式的，等。

Most languages, for better or worse, come equipped with some inherently recommended programming paradigm -object-oriented, functional, whatever.

我开始想知道面向对象编程到底是什么，而且我认为Erlang不是面向对象的，它是函数式编程语言。

I started wondering about what object oriented programming was and I thought Erlang wasn't object oriented, it was a functional programming language.
