Oh man. Are you me? Thanks for that comment.

For me functional programming was just like a “missing link”. Wait, I can just code like I think, not in this weird statefull way? It’s just so practical for me. I can deliver 10x the value for 0.1 the effort. It’s just not fair, I know for a fact that there are more people with the same model of thinking, I just want them to feel as liberated

Amen!

Same as you and GP.

I'd add that, for me, "functional programming at the edges" is sufficient: I don't need to go full straight jacket / Haskell-style to get a huge lot of the benefits of FP. I can still use an imperative outer shell and still have lots of functional parts in my code which are easy to reason about.

What language do you use? (that gives that nice blend)
