I found it very hard to understand functional programming after more than a decade of OO. Was lucky to find Elm.

FP is a completely different paradigm for computing, my OO brain took some time to get a hang of it. In particular, I found it very hard to figure out how to model the system, just by using functions.

It was very hard until I figured it out.
