My feeling is mostly that of confusion. I spent several years writing OOP, and then learned pure FP, and now that's all I do. Pure FP is the best thing I have ever used for UI programming.
My confusion is not from you "throwing shade" on something I know well. Rather, it's from you throwing shade on something you — by your own admission — are not in "a position to render much judgement".
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI'm not actually "throwing shade." I just said, and I quote: > "I hear functional programming is great. Not so sure I'd write a driver with it, though." That's not an insult. Your comment wasn't, either -technically, but it wasn't quite as nuanced. It said that OOP was, by inference, a bad thing. > "Given how frequently I hear something along the lines of "OOP is great; you're just doing it wrong!", I'm inclined to believe it actually isn't so great." Like I said, this has descended to a religious debate, and I won't play, anymore. But this is a big world, and there's many different things going on. I know that I'm an old "OK boomer," but I have also been writing ship software for over thirty-five years, so there's a vanishingly small chance, that I may actually have some valid points to make.
