Functional programming is in vogue right now, just as object-oriented was a few decades ago. The hype will fade, and just like any other programming paradigm (including object-oriented) there will be use cases where it is and is not the most appropriate.
I wish we could all ignore these hype trains.
- mercer 13y agoAt least in my experience it's a hype that provides an 'alternative' to the OO approach. Which I hope means that people will have more options when choosing an approach, rather than shoehorning everything into the OO paradigm.
- na85 13y agoWell yeah, that's my point. Object oriented is not always the right way to do it. A crude example might be just how hideous and over designed an OO HelloWorld can be.
