I used tweak my computer like crazy as a teenager as well for fun and then when I entered the workforce. Now I've started to work part time and so I have a lot more free time and energy which made me pick this up again. It's been

Of course that statement on it's own can be disingenuous, but in this case it's not only related to better understanding requirements. Lower cyclomatic complexity which functional programming lends itself to contribute to the lowe

People also have different navigational patterns. Some will navigate to try to accomplish the task as quick as possible whereas others try to understand every option available to them (I.E. learn the tool holistically) before attempting the

GUI programming is fine in purely functional programming, see for example elm[0], where you have a Model - Update - View paradigm to build frontends. Another example of GUI programming in Pure FP is functional reactive programming[1]. [0]

I wouldn't say there is any threshold where purely functional programming shines less. Fewer regressions and the system being more likely to "just work" makes it more fun to develop. So for interactive programs, servers, CLI

But you don't have separate identities for Youtube, Gmail, Meet et.c. For a federated internet, you should have the same ID for all federated services so that you can build the same product experience as with Apple or Microsoft or Goog

I also got quite disillusioned a few times and I probably will again. What helped me regain a bit of hope again was looking at what the open source community is up to (stuff like sourcehub instead of Github for example). I get joy from movi

The guy just said earlier that he managed to do a full refactor in very little time and had super few bugs in production. I think that's a prime example how you gain very big productivity boosts using elm. I've used typescript and

Or you can just use Elm from the start and not concern yourself with code-splitting, code-shaking and still get smaller assets. See for yourself: https://elm-lang.org/news/small-assets-without-the-headache .
