Lots of people tell me to swtich to FP because of my background, but I've always been kind of the opposite?

What do ya mean? you don't like using words and concepts like "mapping" to talk about functions? Or you really prefer OOP?

More in the sense that in many cases, the mathematical machinery involved far outstrips the context of the task.

There are certainly places where it fits, but as with OOP, the benefits of abstraction often end at the border of the use case.

Tranforming data? ETL? Yeah, that fits. Front end JavaScript? I still don't know why that needs category theory to get involved.

LOL/ugh. I guess I ignore a bunch of types of programming when I talk and teach this way. That was a given for me, I guess

FP makes a lot of noise like, every 5 years. I wonder if the proliferation of enumerable patterns in languages du jour is helping

(by noise I don't mean that in a negative way, just that there seems to be more discussion about it)

I'm learning a bit about it because of the NoOps uprising that seems to want to happen thanks to AWS Lambda & Co.

That definitely seems like an imteresting use case. I love that we're finally starting to get real separation of concerns
