I think what other commenters are getting at is that at some point you won't be interested in

* manipulating lists with functional programming * manipulating lists with OOP * manipulating lists with a non memory managed language * manipulating lists with a hard type safe language

and will start being interested in * guiding people to manipulate lists as simply as possible to MAKE SOME MONEY

Proof languages, dependent types, other category theory -inspired abstractions... For example I've been really enjoying reading this journal lately: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functiona...
