Re:Functional Programming Is Not Popular Because It Is Weird by Ericson2314 on Saturday February 27, 2016 @06:16PM (#11188953)
The title is much better than the article. It is very different, "weird" relative to norm, and the industry is doing well enough that there just is no pressure to do something different.

Honestly that makes sense to me, and I don't blame programmers who are happy with their jobs/lives/workflow/whatever from switching. But when the mainstream idolizes "disruption" and "innovation" above all else, y'all start looking mighty hypocritical. Please, for the sake of us functional programmers, choose one of your revolutionary aesthetic or your shitty languages, but not both.
