I understand that it looks like that, but I believe most of the FP evangelists are just too excited about the cool tech and want to share it with everybody so everybody else can feel the joys of functional programming. At least that's why I often mention and talk about FP to other devs.
- dmitriid 4y agoI used to program in Erlang. The joy of it doesn't lie in FP. Not even closely. It's in the runtime, effortless processes etc. If all you can offer is "joy of programming in FP", you're in a cult.
- jjuel 4y agoSo like a Christian who just wants you to share the same joys of Jesus Christ that they do correct?
- ryanwaggoner 4y agoIn my experience growing up as an evangelical Christian, the proselytizing has very little to do with wanting strangers to “share the same joys of Jesus Christ”.
- andsoitis 4y ago> so everybody else can feel the joys of functional programming That is the kind of knowing-better-than-thou that undermines the evangelism.
