Is functional programming really worth it?
fragmede: The right tool for the job. Just like object oriented code isn't the be-all-end-all, function programming isn't either. Computers are functional! Everything is data! All actions are operations upon that data! Computers are a real world of mathematical elegance & correctness, it's all zeros and ones. It's so much easier to think functionally...Seriously though, if you want to try both perspectives, you have to submerge yourself in a functional viewpoint until you start thinking like that. Because if you grew up thinking functionally, you'd find it easier than imperatively.
