It is always seems kind of cute when someone discovers something new and thinks it's a silver bullet.
On a side note, .NET is not a language, it's a framework, like JVM. In fact F# runs on .NET and it is purely functional.
- lou1306 8y agoJust being nitpicky here, but F# is not "purely" functional (and is not "pure-functional" either). But its OO subset is fairly small indeed.
- nathanaldensr 8y agoI'm shocked that in the 17+ years .NET's been around, we still hear people say that .NET is a language.
- tabtab 8y agoThey often really mean "common Microsoft languages such as C# and VB.net used with Visual Studio". There's no common short way to say that (yet). "Microsoft stack" is about as close as I can come.
- Zyst 8y agoDid you read the end of the article? I mean I get what you are talking about, but I think the author went out of his way to say that he doesn't think FP is going to be a silver bullet.
