A follow up to yesterday's article
There seems to have been a lot of misunderstanding about what yesterday’s
article was about. Mostly from people who didn’t read past the
topic. So, here’s a summary version more in line with your attention
spans.

I think you need your own poster.

I’d be too ashamed of my beardlessness.

I guess your article the other day could have been titled “Functional Code !=> Good Code” where “!=>” means “does not (necessarily) imply”. The “!” ideally would be a cross through the =>. anyway..

It could. But the title was still accurate and the meaning was clear to people who actually bothered to read the article rather than have a kneejerk reaction to it. I stand by the title as it currently is.

Just wanted to say I appreciated the first post a lot. I’d be concerned If I still had the feeling that all FP programmer believe that FP code is automatically better than other styles of coding.
