Yes I know but that's not the point of my original post, which is about people who claim that a pure functional style would be considered easier if it were taught first. I'm saying that falling back on imperative is almost always easier than sticking with pure functional
- Akronymus 2y agoFalling back on imperative is orthogonal to what to teach first. My original argument was that, when just starting programming, it is better to go with FP, as it is easier to learn PP or OOP additionally. While, when starting with PP or OOP, it is incredibly hard to then learn FP.
- bowsamic 2y agoI wasn't responding to your specific point. I was addressing this general idea that the only reason people find imperative programming easier is because they were taught it first
