I think FP's niche popularity is primarily because of it's complexity. The complexity of it makes certain types of people feel smart, so they love it.

- epgui 4y agoCompletely disagree. Once you finish unlearning the patterns you're used to from other languages, there's nothing simpler than FP patterns. The hard part is not learning the thing, it's unlearning what you've already learned.
- john_the_writer 4y agoOddly I don't find FP any more complex than OOP. It's not that I'm all that smart, it's just FP and OOP just govern how you pass around data, not much else. I do tend to find FP does attract people who've really embraced jargon.
