Functional PHP: Functional primitives for PHP

NOTE: functional-php used to come with a C extension that implemented most of the functions natively. As the performance differences weren’t that huge compared to the maintenance cost it has been removed.

A set of functional primitives for PHP, heavily inspired by Scala’s traversable collection, Dojo’s array functions and Underscore.js

• Works with arrays and everything implementing interface Traversable
• Consistent interface: for functions taking collections and callbacks, first parameter is always the collection, then the callback. Callbacks are always passed $value, $index, $collection. Strict comparison is the default but can be changed
• Calls 5.3 closures as well as usual callbacks
• All functions reside in namespace Functional to not raise conflicts with any other extension or library
