How Functional programming connects Entity context

The extracted context around Functional programming shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Functional programming → Allegro, Allegro Lokalnie, Apple Macintosh, Clojure, ClojureScript, Data, Elixir's Phoenix, Elm, Ericsson, Erlang, Facebook, Font Awesome, France, Functional, Haskell, Lisp, Nortel, OCaml, Poland, PureScript Another extracted example is Functional programming → Clean, Clojure, CPU, CPUs, Even, Flat, Functional, Game, Immutability, OCaml, Pascal, Rust, SIMD, The Computer Language Benchmarks. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
