We can see it clearly with the functional paradigm renaissance right now. The same arguments already existed 40 years ago, but _something_ changed recently where the perception of some people toward functional paradigm completely changed.
- hcarvalhoalves 12y agoProbably because we hit a threshold where dealing with mutability started to get unmanageable. Another area of interest is "microservices", for the same reason.
- phkahler 12y agoPerhaps because OOP was the big thing for so long, younger people learned on OOP. Those arguments from 40 years ago were either not taught or not emphasized. As a result, functional seems fresh and interesting. Throw in a few problems that become trivial with it and people get very excited and it becomes the "new thing".
