I wouldn’t say it “automatically improves productivity” - I suspect it might be limited to more intelligent and/or mathematically inclined programmers. That said, I think for many programmers not using it is a huge and pointless missed opportunity. This is one of those visibly high-return arbitrages that it pains me to see go unexploited.
- taeric 5y agoI certainly don't want my criticism to be a call to avoid functional programming. I just get an uneasy feeling when I see it over sold, as well.
- js4ever 5y ago"mathematically inclined programmers." This kind of programmers are literally the worst I met in 25 years of carreer. They are underperforming very badly compared to others.
- wyager 5y agoBased on your username I’m guessing you’re a web dev programmer of some kind? I wouldn’t expect that to match well with math-oriented people.
- js4ever 5y agoIn fact I worked mainly with java and .NET C# in the past 2 decades ... Now I'm more into Node and Javascript ... I worked mainly in finance, banks and insurances. This is where I met all those underperforming math-oriented peoples. Most of the time they where not able to find a job in their field and went to programming as a way to earn money, not by passion like ALL the best engineers I met.
