- PointyFluff 4y agoReading someone else's FP is like reading Perl, aka line-noise.
- xupybd 4y agoHaving worked in Perl for years I agree that Perl is most often hard to read. I've also seen some horrific FP. Generally that's because it either FP stuffed into a language that doesn't support it or it's some crazy meta programming that you need a PHD to follow. Boring well written FP is much easier to read IMO than most OO.
