IMO just move to Scala: the change in thinking from mutable, stateful OO to immutable, pure FP (w/ some side effects mindfully mixed-in) is indeed steep. Howeve

IMO just move to Scala: the change in thinking from mutable, stateful OO to immutable, pure FP (w/ some side effects mindfully mixed-in) is indeed steep. However, accepting this paradigm shift yields unbelievable dividends in terms of quickly writing correct programs that solve complex problems.
- calvinmorrison 8y agoMaybe you just nailed it on the head for me what I've been trying to state for a while in regards to FP. Expressing complex things like algorithms in functional programming can be beautiful and also incredible in how it adjusts your thinking. Fact of the matter is, I don't solve many complex problems like this. It makes doing tutorials and books fun but when i need to get work i stick to my usual guns
