Reply to comment by Clank75 in Why Functional Programming Should Be the Future of Software Development by fchung

We did functional programming in uni in the 90's. Was niche then. Powerful for some things but unintuitive. Probably no different now.

Yeah. I've got a similar memory from a programming languages class in my old college days in the late 00's.

And sure, there's some more built in functional type stuff in imperative languages nowadays, and I'm plenty happy to much about with it for a couple of elegant lines of code. But too much of that is just a mess to try to think about.
