>The so-called “functional” programming has no proper mechanisms of abstraction since it is based on mathematics (which obviously is inferior and has no applications in the real world apart from the academia).
Amazingly, this article appears to be serious.
- pessimizer 7y agoIt's not. > Declarative code, on the other hand, is too concise, and erroneously makes the developers focus on the less important things, like business logic. ----- >It takes at least 20–30 years to get good with OOP, even then most people with 30 years of OOP experience haven’t truly mastered it. The learning path is rough, filled with uncertainty. A lifetime of learning awaits the OOP developer, how exciting is that! > What about the poor functional programmers? Unfortunately, there’s not much to learn. I personally have taught a few junior developers functional programming in JavaScript, and they became really good at it in about half a year. They simply had to understand a few basic concepts and then learned to apply them pretty quickly. Where’s the thrill of lifetime learning? I wouldn’t envy them.
