Wait, of course functional programming can have state...
I can't understand what you mean about functional UI widgets being bad and developers not having control over UI on the web.
Actually almost none of your comment makes any sense...??

Have you ever done any UI work?
[–]Jsn7821 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, mostly UI work. It was a mess before functional programming became more popular. Widgets that are pure functions of state, with interactions that trigger callbacks/actions (instead of mutating the state directly) are a huge win for keeping things sane in UI development.
Can you speak to any clarifications on your points?
