FP language is very hard on novice programmers. You can write thousands of lines of bad javascript/java/python code, but you won’t write ten in FP without the whole thing blowing up.
And then there’s the whole evaluation instead of instructions. With FP, you’re always thinking recursively. With imperative, you can coast on a line by line understanding.
yeah - without an easy ramp up for beginners most languages / frameworks die.
I wish most language / framework designers knew that part.
again - another point why not hiring junior developers cz A.I or outsourcing those will cause catastrophic effects in the future.
