Yeah, functional programming and pure functions seem perfect for generative programming. Granted, I think they're perfect in general, but as long as human programmers are still stuck in the world of object-orientation (the modern sense), then they're going to be wasting the time in the LLM feedback loop. The LLM should be be able to write a unit of code however it wants in a way that is as self-contained as possible. Since an LLM can, in theory, quickly "understand" code that most software engineers would object to, then we should get out of the way of LLMs rather than expect them to be like we are.
