Contrarian take: I feel that copilot rewards me for writing patterns that it can then use to write an entire function given a method signature. The more you lean into functional patterns: design some monads, don’t do I/O except at the boundaries, use fluent programming, then it’s highly effective. This is all in Java, for what it’s worth. Though, I’ll admit, I’m 3.5y into Java, and rely heavily on Java 8+ features. Also, heavy generic usage in my library code gives a lot of leash to the LLM to consistently make the right choice. I don’t see these gains as much when using quicker/sloppier designs. Would love to hear more from true FP users (Haskell, OCaml, F#, Scala).
