[Risord]

I like pragmatic definition of FP by Eric Normand: We recognize separation between data, calculations (pure functions) and actions (impure stuff) while using always simplest category.

To me it seems like especially juniors would get benefit from this separations. So is it more like: "this language makes you do the thing that experienced programmers do once a while and juniors avoid [purity] at all costs". It would be interesting to see how juniors would work with functional(-first) language. Would they be able to craft same not-even-god-knows-what-it-does piece of art? What I have seen so far lot of side effects is typically required.
