I make every function its own program and execve it.

-
actually that's pretty functional
-
shows how much I paid attention in school.

yeah especially advanced OS

I take a not-very-secret delight that the key to the success of Hypothesis is how incredibly mutable its internals are while the FP people are still all "You need referential transparency for property based testing!!"
-
I'd love to read a blogpost about why the internals are so mutable
-
Yeah I keep meaning to write something like that. Short version is that when you have a problem that is logically "Pick a value non-deterministically and do something to it to see what happens", mutability lets you hide a lot of useful decision making in the "pick a value" step.

a long time ago I wanted to write a blog post about how functional programming is a terrible idea at small scale but a great idea at larger scales, but I could never make it come out right
-
Shame. That sounds like a great troll post if you could make it work.
-
the problem is I mean it seriously
-
The best trolls also work as serious points!

Me, I write purely functional TeX code.

returns only overfull hboxes?

Haskell and you shall receive. (Works better with atrocious French pronunciation.)

I am new to the game; is functional programming mainly about not abusing const?
-
it usually means programming in Haskell or Lisp or something like that, but note that my tweet was a joke
-
Oh yeah, I get the humour. I just haven't found a personal need for functional programming (in my scientific computing background); my experience is very limited, and no colleagues use it.
