        Maybe a few years ago but that's a thing of the past. Lots of industries including fintechs use typed FP nowadays. That includes type classes, higher kinded polymorphism and all the goodies you get with Haskell, Scala and friends. I have witnessed it. Typed FP is in high demand.

        @wm @siegel please, that’s a side effect. It actually creates a new copy of the world state where their craziness value is much higher.
