/prog/ - Functional Programming Is Wrong

Functional Programming is wrong because it tries to turn programming into a bunch of Jewish declarative mathematical formulas that simply prescribe a solution to a problem.

Programming should be about imperative knowledge, about performing work.

You're just upset because reading SICP only got you as far as a shift manager at taco bell.

Fuck your imperative shit. OOP makes everything more organized. Structs can only do so much.

OOP/FP is a buzzword used to describe some sort of fuzzy ideal. I've never met anyone who's been able to tell me what a "true" object-oriented/functional language would be, or why it would be useful.

OOP/FP is one technique for solving problems. OOP/FP is another. Use what works.

OOP is the gift of gods. It is the solution to everything.

You want an example of a true OO language? Io.

Prototypes, yes. Classes, not so much.
