gruseom's comment raised the bar for evidence in this discussion, and gave some examples of evidence. "As Clojure, F#, Haskell and friends show" - can you point to a study?

- Skinney 13y agoNo study no. But since those languages are built around that line of thinking, and becouse those languages are great, and becouse that line following your quote is in alot of the books about learning said languages, I belive the statement to be correct.
- gruseom 13y agoThat line is by Alan Perlis [1]. It's great, but not relevant to the question above, which is: all other things being equal, what's the best way to do functional decomposition? If you're moving between 1 and 10 data structures, then "all other things" are so far from being equal as to make for a completely different matter.
