It only appears simple because the layers of complexity to achieve that effect are hidden under the language runtime, and you're exposed to just the top of the iceberg.
If you had to build the whole runtime yourself from first principles, functional behaviour would be way simpler to define.
- c_crank 3y agoA functional runtime from top to bottom is simple on a FPGA. It's also pretty useless. A circuit with no memory that does the same thing each time. Pretty good for a light switch, but not the kind of things people want computers for.
