+                <h2>The beauty of functional programming</h2>
+
+                <p>
+                    Functional Programming is one of those skills that not every programmer has
+                    and where the opinions among developers deviate whether they think it is usefull, or not.
+                    Where one programmer will see pure beauty within closures, lambda expressions, immutability, function compositions
+                    and curried functions.
+                    Others are are completely confused by the syntax.
+                </p>
+
+                <p>
+                    Functional Programming might not get you a job in the real world, but it definitely gives the engineer a 
+                    higher level of understanding the world of computer science. 
                 </p>
 
+                <p>
+                    I am one of those programmers who sees the beauty within functional programming paradigms and once in a while
+                    it is nice to fiddle some draft functions in blanco project.
+                </p>
+
+                <p>
+                    Let's take a look at a code snippet written in Typescript, that I picked up while following a software
+                    engineering minor and that I still use as of today speaking. 
+                    (Guess what, something I learned in school is still usefull.)
+                </p>
+
+                <p>
+                    The snippet includes an interface Func, that simulates the structure of a lambda, simular to the Func in C#. 
+                    Each attribute is a function. 
+                    <br><br>
+                    Where: 
+                    </p><ul>
+                        <li><b>f: </b>Is the orignal expression.</li>
+                        <li><b>then: </b>A function composition that composes two functions and returns them as one.</li>
+                        <li><b>repeat:</b>Mimics the concept of a loop by composing the same function <b>n-</b>times.</li>
+                        <li><b>repeatUntil: </b>Mimics the concept of a <b>do while</b> by also composing the function based on a guard condition.</li>
+                    </ul>
+
+                    This little snippet is a powerfull starting point to build libraries, frameworks or even a new programming language.
+                    A possible use case might an undo function, like the in Google Drive or MS Word. With function composition you can easily track back 
+                    every single step. 
+                <p></p>
+
+                <p>
+                    Understanding every inch of these concepts is a long road. Eventually functional programming practices the concept 
+                    of writing code that doesn't break over time. Being able to write code that does not break, that sounds like music 
+                    to my ears and a good reason to give this priciple a chance.
