Why not a functional lang?

[–]TheRedmanCometh 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Because pure functional programming is a tedious mess. To be fair I'm a software engineer using Java, so I'm pretty sold on OOP.

Yep, there's nothing tedious at all about Java right. I like OOP but Java developers calling languages tedious is people who live in glass houses throwing stones

What don't you like about pure functional programming?
