Still makes no sense. Once again: who paid, what was the price, what was the expected reward?
- tmtvl 2y agoWho paid: programmers switching to FP. What was the price: two things: - The programmers must stop using for-loops and [i]ndexes. - The programmers must start using maps/folds/filters/et cetera. What was the expected reward: the knowledge that their functions' outputs will only depend on their inputs. In short: programmers who change their behaviour get the benefit of certainty about specific properties of their programs.
