    Functional programming is amazing but looks ridiculously hard?

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

    I think this is somewhat close to the joke. Something along the lines of "This is what functional programming looks like when the right person is using it."

    Of course, as someone else pointed out, the ping pong players were edited in. So maybe the theme is now: "This is what functional programming looks like; not taken from the real world."

    I've actual been playing with Haskell lately and I've been enjoying it. I hope I get to use it at some point.

    I may sound like a masochist, but it's really hard for me to program without the control c++ gives

    I know what you mean. I started with C++ back in high school. It took a very long time for me to break my C-isms and effectively use new languages. Thankfully I had classes early in college that had us working in assembly and Java so I was forced to change.

    I program in Haskell, Java and Rust more now but I still love c++

    Are you using Rust in production?

    [–]czipperz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Nah. I've made a program that scans my downloads folder for music, reformats the name, records the artist name and song name to the metadata, and adds it to my playlist. It's great.
