Is Functional Programming DEAD Already?

Functional Programming was the bright new thing, but the noise about it seems to have quietened down lately, is this because it has failed, or because it has succeeded? Why is Java so much more popular than Elixir, the most popular pure functional language, and where are Haskel, Erlang and Clojure in the race to mainstream adoption? What about the adoption of FP features into OO languages like Java, C# and Scala? Is FP vs OOP even a sensible thing to talk about? Don’t we need FP to enable more parallelism in our software to take advantage of the multi-cores in modern hardware? - Well, no, probably not! In this episode author and software engineer Dave Farley explores these ideas and the wins and losses of FP along the way. - ⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content! ➡️ https://bit.ly/ContinuousDeliveryPatreon 🎥 Join Us On TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@modern.s.engineering Some of the imagery in this video was produced by Real Python - https://realpython.com/python-functional-programming/ who have kindly allowed us to use that same imagery in this video.
