- Is this typical ? In the first pass when I attempted to learn Functional Programming using Scala/Clojure/Haskell etc. I found it hard (1/2) #
- But once I started applying FP techniques in the language I know (python), I found it was much easier to then grok FP in other langs. (2/2) #
- I believe, not all scenarios require you to switch to another lang. Learn how to use FP in your lang & that may satisfy many (not all) needs #
- As an example, I find myself involved into writing low level db code combining FP & metaprogramming in python, & I'm quite happy with it #

On a serious note, that purity could be overrated – until you reach usecases requring heavy multi threading in reply to debasishg # - @debasishg I think a part II referring to purity implications and tradeoffs in the context of differing contexts / usecases might be helpful in reply to debasishg #
