Please note that the article merely encourages the application of some of the best practices introduced by functional programming - strong typing and more mindfulness around mutability and side effects - into all forms of programming. Functional programming as it exists today takes these ideas to a somewhat extreme form. That has its place and value, but as experience in the real world shows, as long as it feels so mathematical, it isn't everybody's cup of tea. Hopefully, over time we find more intuitively accessible abstractions for the really useful principles that functional programming is based on. |

Languages like Elm, Elixir and Clojure don't feel "so mathematical".
