I think functional programming is great for scaling systems but too restrictive since everything is immutable... So the model of the future, in my opinion, should look more like https://www.val-lang.dev/ https://www.val-lang.dev/ https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2676r0.pdf https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p26... This is less restrictive and also very scalable IMHO. Value semantics, basically.
