I'd really like to hear an argument for this that doesn't beg the question.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoIt is anecdotal and probably a bit too strong! Many of the strong programming languages people I have met have been amazing programmers strongly in the "FP" category. If you look at a lot of the PL people that do dev work in Google, they belong to this category as well. I'm not in that world personally. I attended WGFP once and found people like Simon Peyton Jones to be crazy smart and able to work with through complex abstractions quickly to find very elegant solutions. But I just couldn't think like that, I'm more OO.
