Perhaps this is the reason why pure FP is just as obscure as it is? Sure, it's technically more beautiful and pure and stuff, like a piece of art -- but a bunch of Java is easier to figure out, because it's plain as a cloth sack.
- chousuke 6y agoThere's no reason "pure FP" should be fundamentally any more inscrutable than Java code; that assumption may just be a personal bias due to familiarity. It's definitely possible to go the other way too, with an object-oriented mess where a judicious application of functional principles would make for much clearer code.
