@dysinger @shit_so_says @raganwald tl;dr: the benefits of FP are oversold and have many drawbacks which the FP community is blind to/ignores
@ReinH @KirinDave okay, tell me this: is it possible that OO could actually be better than FP?

@KirinDave@ReinH case in point -
@bascule@kirindave Maybe just try assuming that the other side is acting in good faith? Just for a second? -
@ReinH@KirinDave kind of hard when OOP is constantly dismissed as an inferior solution despite real world success -
@bascule Who is doing that right now? Who is doing that here in this conversation? Who are you arguing with? -
@KirinDave you just did? -
@bascule I've said this 3 ways now.https://twitter.com/KirinDave/status/383692006548992000 …

@bascule@kirindave Absolutely, why wouldn't it be? It sounds a lot like you are projecting a dogmatic viewpoint that doesn't always exist. -
@ReinH@KirinDave do you think I dreamed this viewpoint up or can you acknowledge it not only exists but is prevalent in the FP community? -
@bascule@ReinH@KirinDave As much as I see OOP bashing in FP, I see OOP devs dismissing FP out-of-hand. Neither approach benefits us. -
@mxavier@ReinH@KirinDave once upon a time I made an FP language and just got back from Strange Loop. Does that description fit me? -
@bascule Reia? Functional? -
@KirinDave functional has One True Definition, of course. OOP is a totally meaningless and incomprehensible term -
@bascule@kirindave Again with this bullshit. Stop trolling. Jesus christ. -
@ReinH@bascule@KirinDave he's Tony, what are you expecting, really? at least on Twitter. - 2 more replies

@bascule@kirindave And by choosing to engage only with that viewpoint you are making a good faith dialog really difficult.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
