Hello..........
Functional programming is stupid
What it wants to sell that it uses pure functions so that it
avoids race conditions, but since Haskel uses Mvars, it is like
blocking queues , it is prone to Deadlocks and to starvation,
so Fuinctional programming doesn't compose well in the parallel
programming world.
So what i advice is to use Object oriented programming with
transactional memory or a scalable reader-writer lock that wraps the
reads and writes, because transactional memory is easy and because
scalable reader-writer lock is easy , so i think it ensure a level of
security that is acceptable.
In the criterion of expressivity and productivity , i don't think
that Functional programming buys much, so i think that Object oriented
progrmming will still be used and a prefered tool in the future.
Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
