They don't have a choice: the latest languages force it on you by not giving better alternatives. For example, their stiff object models. For instance, why the heck can't one easily attach an on-click method to a Java button, instead forced to use silly lambdas? It would be more natural and simpler. Over-focus on FP damaged the OOP improvements/designs. Each generation seems to over-do something, and then the pendulum swings the other way.
- the_af 8y agoI don't understand your example (and I don't understand why you consider lambdas silly), but more importantly: if most of the world -- by which I mean, modern language designers and practitioners -- seems to be going one direction, and you insist in staying put, aren't you at least a bit worried you might be wrong about it? "It" being the partial adoption of FP idioms and features in this case.
