Without going into the core of whether FP is better or not, if OOP/imperative is what 99.9% of people start with, you'll expect to have both FP advocates and skeptics coming from that background. It's just that FP skeptics have tried it and gone back.
In other words, people only convert one way because it's the only way most people can convert.
- epgui 4y agoI understand what you're saying, but my point is that the near totality of FP criticism comes from people who don't know what they're talking about. ie.: you need to be very familiar with something before you can reasonably criticize it.
