# What is Tango?

Everyone deserves to enjoy the benefits of functional programming, the Tango provides a series of implementations to facilitate the use of functional programming concepts in C#.

In a certain way any C# developer work with some functional concepts like anonymous methods with lambda expressions and high order functions with [System.Linq](https://msdn.microsoft.com/pt-br/library/system.linq%28v=vs.100%29.aspx) library, and so on.

C# is an amazing programming language and we as a dev, can improve it a lot more. In this library I implements some of the core functional concepts in order to enhances the experience of developers.

**Tango** is a set of powerful functional tools for your .NET C# application. With **Tango** you can write a clean functional code in C#. It can works with pipelines (method and operator), optional and either type values.

Besides that, **Tango** provides an extension for [IEnumerables](https://msdn.microsoft.com/pt-br/library/system.collections.ienumerable%28v=vs.110%29.aspx), [Options](https://github.com/gabrielschade/tango/tree/379cc4a38ae47796971eb875ec66e7dc053a9081/Types/Option.html) and [Either](https://github.com/gabrielschade/tango/tree/379cc4a38ae47796971eb875ec66e7dc053a9081/Types/Either.html) with the [Tango.Module](https://github.com/gabrielschade/tango/tree/379cc4a38ae47796971eb875ec66e7dc053a9081/Modules/Introduction.html) namespace. Use popular methods like Map, Map2, Map3, Filter, Reduce, Fold, Scan and so on, always respecting lazy loadness.

Functional programming brings a lot of benefits to your application, and the do you know the best of all?

It makes development more **fun**!

Stop to struggle with your code and take it to dance a Tango!
