@davetchepak @liammclennan anything but functional programming for UI programming is nuts too, but only by a little bit in comparison

@dibblego @liammclennan When I asked last you said UI programming in FP was too hard for beginners? #paraphrasing

@davetchepak @liammclennan I mean UI programming, not functional programming for UI.

@dibblego A softball for you: beginners can pick up VB & write an app that does what it needs to. Can't be done in FP?

@davetchepak Correction: beginners can pick up VB & bamboozle themselves and their assessor that they have an app... FP exposes this.

@dibblego Why is something written in VB not an app?

@davetchepak because it almost always does not work, or even close to working, a pre-requisite to my mind.

@dibblego @davetchepak except to them it does work. It does what they need.
