Having to use something like Redux, conceptually solid but so full of boilerplate, instead of re-frame is kind of like having to use Java at work instead of Clojure.
Some of us are just lucky, I guess.
- tigroferoce 9y agoSo true. Some of us are lucky enough to use a concise language like clojure. I am really asking myself why lisp and functional programming in general are not really taught in schools.
- WA 9y agoI learned Scheme in my first semester of computer science (in Germany). Back then, I thought "What's this garbage? I want to program a game or a webapp, not some obscure stuff in a language I never heard of". I can appreciate the idea of teaching functional programming only after I graduated, but for starters, it seems too far away from what the industry, magazines and people talk about. That might be a reason why it's not taught at many schools.
- watwut 9y agoFunctional programming is taught in schools. Sometimes even with lisp. Students unvirsally seen it as impractical theory. The popular ressurection of functional on frontend is relatively new development. Before, it was used only in few math related areas.
