Which “lot of” other programming languages can’t you “actually get stuff done” in? Are you sure the problem lies with the programming language? danenania|4 months ago It’s an exaggeration perhaps but I get the sentiment. FP is elegant and beautiful and everything, but it can lead you to spend all day puzzling out the right abstractions for some data transformation that takes 5 minutes with a dumb for loop in Go. LogicHound|4 months ago I find there are some environments where you have a positive feedback loop while working in them. PHP is one of them, Go is another at least for me.I find many of languages I am constantly fighting with dependency managers, upgrades and all sorts of other things.
