That's why in germany the first course in the first semester of CS teaches you three things: imperative programming, functional programming and logical programming. That way you can choose your favorite programming paradigm early on in your career and don't get surprised and wonder what would have been if you found it earlier in your career.
I hope other countries teach programming like that as well
- kobeya 9y agoI’m not sure “That way you can choose your favorite programming paradigm early on in your career” is the intended or even desireable result.
- sonnk 9y agoI have the impression that people tend to turn to functional programming after spending a lot of time in imperative programming and seeing its downsides.
