    The ReadME Project[^]:

    Object-oriented and imperative programming aren’t going away, but functional programming is finding its way into more codebases.

    Because you need to look up the definition of monad as well

      I wrote a whole chapter on monads (or was it two chapters?) in a SyncFusion e-book, and I still have to look up the definition. :laugh: Trying to explain monads in normal everyday English is one of the hardest things I've had to write.

        I applaud any software that is functional when I use it.

          Really? How many developers do understand the problems caused by global variables? My cow-orkers are very creative when it comes to creating equivalents of global variables (e.g. static classes with public variables, singletons with settable properties, ...). And then you want to tell them to keep functions "pure"? They are not at all capable of understanding the problems introduced by side-effects... Happy debugging!

            a monoid in the category of endofunctors?

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
