- l5870uoo9y 3y agoOnce you are used to the patterns and functions coding becomes faster, easier to understand and less error prone.
- latchkey 3y agoYou should never have to "get used to the patterns"... that in itself is an anti-pattern.
- jcparkyn 3y agoCounterpoint: Everyone had to "get used to the patterns" for the first programming style they learnt (even if they've been programming long enough to forget that). That shouldn't be a reason to avoid learning a different style -- unless there's good reason to believe that style B's patterns are much harder to learn than style A's were (which I'm sceptical of in this specific case).
- diggan 3y agoAm I the only one who uses declarative programming when it makes sense, and $other-type-of-programming when that make sense? When creating UIs, I haven't found anything better than declarative programming. But in the end, it's all trade-offs, nothing seems to be a silver bullet, UI programming just fucking sucks in general.
- rubicon33 3y ago> When creating UIs, I haven't found anything better than declarative programming This is only true for basic UI. The more complex it gets, the less I like declarative programming. Declarative is great for simple static UI, and configs. That's pretty much it.
