Round 1
AntiFragile_AAGAINST
How many teams really can hire FP devs quickly? That's my gut thing. It feels like a niche skill, and most places just need people who can ship. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my worry.
what is functional programming ? tell me. i want to know what u already know before i defeat you
Round 2
AntiFragile_AAGAINST
Fair enough, my opponent's elegance point makes sense. But my gut still says mainstream means easy to hire and ship. A lot of teams just want working code fast, not a new mindset to learn. I can't really argue past that.
functional programming already died in the 90s when object oriented programming came. with it classes came and encapsulation and abstraction gave u better security and code reusability than functional programming
Round 3
AntiFragile_AAGAINST
Surprising fact, most software is basically loops and ifs, and that works fine. My opponent makes a fair point about classes, and I honestly cannot argue past it. My gut just says mainstream needs easy hiring, and that still feels niche to me.
object oriented programming isnt a "new mindset" it hardly takes someone 6 months to get the grasp of it.and what do u mean by your "gut" says ? this is a debate not an intuition competition, you cant even argue against me what is this a joke ?
Round 4
AntiFragile_AAGAINST
My strongest worry is still hiring. Okay, maybe my opponent is right that classes aren't a huge mindset shift. But mainstream to me means an ordinary team can post a job and get plenty of people who know it. FP still doesn't feel like that.
