Question 1

Why functional programming languages for parallelism ?

Answer 1

1. Data is immutable
2. parallelism tasks only share read-only data
3. No race conditions.
4. no side effects
   
   1. functions cannot update global shared state.
   2. pure functions cannot perform IO
      5 . hides the “how ?” question -
   3. handling concurrency
   4. scheduling
   5. memory management
