Yeah im confused by this article. Why would this push functional programming into a small niche? Is it just because the scanners are only written small range of languages like C# or javascript? Seems like functional programming makes for BETTER security scanning all around. If anything I actually see this potentially giving FP a boost, unless the scanners are just surface level and are adopted as a matter of faith, all good and well until one of them gets cracked, dynamic languages compared to compiled are like swiss cheese

They are very useful, as they catch all those stuff that should have been designed out of the language/framework to start with. They are not something to get cracked, but they also won't discover any deep issue.
- nautilus12 6y agoI feel like the underlying issue is the actual quality of the scanner doesn't matter. It's more of a liability checkbox or culpability shifting device.
