Thankfully never got sucked into that void. I had a coworker who really evangelized functional programming. I wonder what he’s up to now.
douglasg14bWe have a principal engineer on our team that is pushing this sort of style hard.
It’s essentially obfuscation, no one else on the team can really review, nevermind understand and maintain what they write.

Java, the most functional programming language there is.
Well, this is in JS to be clear
Instead of
const name = user.name
It’s
const userToName(user) => user.name;
const name = userToName(user);
Ad nauseum.
I was afraid you’d say that. That’s stupid.
That was the impression I got about functional programming, from what little I read about it like 15 years ago. Sounds like somebody found a pretty hammer and everything became a nail.
