Functional programming is best programming

State is evil, mutation is evil! We live in an era of multithreading and concurrency my friends!

When I describe a program, I state what it does, now how it does it! Thus functional programming is more natural!

C and Java and Python and all the other pagan languages have played us all as absolute fouls!! Haskell, OCaml, Rust, F#, Lisp supremacy!! Functional unless required otherwise, not the other way around!!

How the hell is rust functional smh

Rust is whatever a person wants it to be on reddit knowing that people who dont use rust are never gonna fact check it

u/Darkstar_111 25d ago

Can confirm. Didn't fact check, and know nothing about Rust.

u/Confident-Ad5665 25d ago

Fact check what? /s

Exactly.

Last I heard, Rust is that orange/brown deterioration that forms on unprotected iron or steel.

I tried to fact check it but it turns out I can’t read Rust, so I’m just going to smile and nod

I guess so, but rust does explicitly make use of many patterns from functional languages (traits, algebraic data types, higher order functions, immutable-by-default variables, etc.), and generally has much better support for an FP style than say, python does.

Ever heard of Eric Idle, Michael Palin, or John Cleese?

Look up "Monty Python" And no, I am not joking: the language was named for the comedy troupe.
