Fluent C++[^]:

The past few years have seen a boost in popularity of the functional programming paradigm.

So.. safe for werewolf programmers?

I'm all-out against it. My code is totally non-functional.

How dare you sully this forum with COBOL! :mad: ...however, now that you have perhaps we should, in the light of currently fashionably social mores, be all switching to it as it was designed by a WOMAN!

Oh dear, what abstraction level does that guy have! Using the current index of an object in a list as an identifier, and then discussing if that should start at 0 or 1 because of UI concerns... Nowhere mentioning concurrency as an issue. Oh no, send him back to elementary classes.

Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!
