@warrenm this sounds both threatening and ominous as well as encouraging and “get back out there, sport.”
@edelaney05 FP is great because it upsets sclerotic thinking. Understanding the “why” and not merely the “what” pays enormous dividends.

@warrenm Have you read the Swift FP book? Will I get the “why?” Where else can I look for the why? I like I’m missing key resources. -
@edelaney05 Yeah, I found it pretty gentle. I hesitate to recommend SICP, but it’s worth the study if you have the time for it.

@edelaney05 Unrelatedly, the greatest sclerosis of the object-oriented mind is a blindness to the pathologies of statefulness. -
@warrenm wha? It feels like 99% of the bugs I fight in OOP are state related. Seems like statefulness is unavoidable -more about mitigation? -
@edelaney05 It’s undesirable to slavishly avoid state. The problem is underestimating the combinatorial explosion of possible interactions.
