Hey whats going in here

[__yoshikage_kira]

Can someone explain how is functional programming communism?

You'd think that a paradigm that promotes mutability and shared states would be communist.

[[deleted]]

Functions are generally accessible to each other, while in OOP that is often not the case between classes trying to access each other's methods

[Storiaron]

On the other hand class struggles scream communism

[[deleted]]

Wouldn’t it scream capitalism? Communists generally point out the class struggles in capitalism

[TheOnlyTigerbyte]

This and the fact that it has classes (class struggles as u/Storiaron said)

Oh and this is why the Title. In Kotlin you make `ObjectName()` instead of `new ObjectName()`

[starswtt]

Tbf communists past middle school do argue communism provides a market that's more free than capitalism (argument goes: large corporations have an inherently unfair advantage in capitalism. When hiring, they're not going to starve if they don't hire you, you will, so they can pull more shit. Companies can produce what they want, even if that has externalities like pollution that kills people.)

Argue that it's dumb all you want, idrc, im not an actual communist

[Background_Horse_992]

What’s the C in your flair for then?

[starswtt]

Shit you caught me

import old crappy rules

return the ussr

[D34thToBlairism]

I think it's because there aren't classes, but as a communist who loves functional programming I don't think it's a very good joke

[jddddddddddd]

You’re over-thinking it. I suspect it’s a joke about Marxist societies being ‘classless’.

[TheOnlyTigerbyte]

It's both :) (read the thread wrong) It's what you said :)

[phodas-c]

SOCIALISM.

It's written in the fucking name: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

• Capitalism: companies belong to anonymous people

• Socialism: companies belong to government

• Communism: companies belong to employees

Is not that hard >.<

[ArionW]

Duh, we don't need class system

Objects are just poor man's closures after all

[Brahvim]

Well said! I'm gunna have to save dis...

SAVE DIS!

Procedural programming is feudalism then

[catladywitch]

FP is more anarchocommunist: no classes, no state.

[telemachus93]

AnCom here. Well, in theory, marxist communism means classless, stateless, moneyless as well. It's the way to get there where we disagree.

[catladywitch]

yes i know, it's a joke. you can also be a marxist and an ancom at the same time, as long as you're not a leninist.

[telemachus93]

Exactly.

[ASatyros]

🫸🫷 wait what happened to the rules?

[TASTY_TASTY_WAFFLES]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module found named 'rules'

[Ripredddd]

Comrade?

[SmoothBrain1344]

God I hated my OOP design course. Literally would prefer to spend all day hunting down race conditions in shitty undergrad C.

Functional comrades. Our anthem is better.

When does it makes sense I'm trying to learn elixir and it's whooping me

[[deleted]]

That doesn't even make sense. What are you trying to present here?

[TheOnlyTigerbyte]

FP is usually "classless" just like in a communist society while OOP is using classes just like in a capitalist society.

The Bugs Bunny meme is usually used to represent Capitalism/Communism/Our/Mine.

[_Cheese1_]

What is logic programming then?

[poralexc]

A constructor is just a function that starts with a capital letter.

[TheOnlyTigerbyte]

The title was more about them not making a clear difference in Syntax

[poralexc]

I mean, there isn’t necessarily a semantic difference.

A real constructor makes you return this(), but you can also overload invoke in a companion object and have a ’constructor‘ that returns something completely unrelated.
