Is functional programming a maymay?
Yes
Yes
inb4 academic researchers who wrote said languages are trying to meme you into thinking you're not a "real programmer"
kek
No, I haven't ever tried it, but I do know that it has its uses. However as with any programming paradigm, it is not useful in all use cases.
Go read a book.
>brainlets: the thread
yes, at least the haskell and lisp elitism part
in languages like C++ you can have aspects of functional programming like don't have unnecessary global state etc
All machine learning frameworks use some sort of functional paradigm, faggots.
Pure functional programming is retarded tho, the world is not stateless

>Not understanding that machine learning is a blanket term
>Jelly pajeet can't ride the bubble because it actually requires skills and triple digits IQ
Congressman, no.
>bubble
aka meme
Are you shitting me? Every pajeet is doing machine learning courses on Coursera these days
buy low, sell high
>it has its uses. However as with any programming paradigm, it is not useful in all use cases.
only actual answer ITT
going back to your scheduled shitposting now
Had to learn it in my first semester of uni. It's a bigger meme than programming socks.
it's useful as a kind of script to process compile-time input. i use mathematica for this. for general long-running programs that interact with a user, it's shit.
you can still keep a pure core and run a filthy impure loop with it
>Machine learning
>requiring a triple digit IQ
I love the field but let's be honest here. Outside of a few people working to make actual improvements on theory, the field mostly consists of morons using canned algorithms and dogshit data limited to too few fields as a catch-all to justify why they should haphazardly make decisions they already were leaning towards making anyway. I mean the sheer amount of people out here that try to apply ML algorithms to aggregate data sets instead of raw observations is astounding, and it happens daily.
Almost makes feel like the import statement was a mistake.
it's the perfect scapegoat
>sorry, the 'algorithm' flagged your shit
Yes, and I have an assignment to implement something "useful" in prolog for tomorrow, fuck that
What do you think?
