These are the dumbest type of comments. People are doing real world work in FP, but because it's not the work you do (or you're not comfortable doing the work you do in FP) you're deluded to thinking that no real work gets done in it.

He's a Fullstack JS developer which is even dumber because he uses React which is basically the defacto JS front end framework.

React is trending heavily away from OOP, it's creators heavily buy into FP, and most of the patterns in react are inspired heavily by FP. Functional components are now the way to go.

ReasonML (a pure FP language) is react as intended and is the northstar of React.

To learn more here is a video from Jordan Walke creator of React (and ReasonML): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fG_lyNuEAw

I recommend parent commenter to learn more about the very tools he himself works with before disparaging FP and himself.
