That’s not why, JS is popular because it’s inescapable and STILL the ONLY language that can natively manipulate the DOM-not to mention web browsers are ubiquitous.

​ @lepidoptera9337 It's funny how some people trump degrees. You see, old man, most people with degrees are downright dumb, like everywhere else. skills, knowledge, yes there is.

I wonder where my messages go, old man? ​ @lepidoptera9337

Nobody thinks in objects. Western language speakers think in subject, verb, object, adjectives and adverbs, which are used in complete sentences to establish relationships between two or more parts, something that OOP does not. But that's not even the important part. The important part is the question "What solution is your problem really asking for?" and the answer to that is rarely "objects".

@@lepidoptera9337 You're probably not familiar with math at all. Everything is an object and the relations between them - the concept of "algebra" is to the rescue. I don't even want to sort out the rest of the nonsense. Like being an idiot without understanding, be it

@@MrChelovek68 That's not algebra, kid. That's category theory. Please get a life. I am a physics PhD, by the way, who has also taught computer science at university. So much for your idea that I don't have an idea about math. Now let me give you some more attention. Your basement is very cold. :-)

@@lepidoptera9337 ну тогда, мне жаль твоих студентов,granny. а до степеней,я например наслышан об овощах,пишущих статейки с помощью chatgpt. думаешь,это дерьмо,кроме академической степени что то из себя представляет?) а что до теории категорий, ну ты херово вообще понимаешь что такое алгебра) видишь ли,phd, мы снова возвращаемся к понятию "объект" и "соотношения между объектами". и если спроецироовать это на мышление любого из людей,мы поо прежнему мыслим исключительно объектами. в общем то,каждый ходит в магазин,чтобы купить некоторый необходимый объект,строит объект-жилье из объектов строительных материалов. я не phd, но я тоже преподавал, и преподавал действительно адекватную дисциплину. и в отличие от тебя,мне пришлось не просто нести фигню,а преподносить информацию на понятном языке. ну а поскольку я всю жизнь с удовольствием изучаю всякое, в том числе и профессионально и умею рефлексировать над изучаемым, то я знаю о чем говорю. и, если честно, большинство со степенью -откровенные идиоты. skills, knowledge, yes there is.

Those are just excuses. FP has some serious performance issues besides the purist mindset that plagues it overall. Most problems CAN NOT be solved without side effects. If you have to deal with GByte size data then your computer's memory is not "infinite for all practical purposes". Unless you want to reduce your 5.6GHz $1000 CPU to the equivalent of a slightly faster 32bit microcontroller for $5.60 you CAN NOT tolerate cache misses (I do have a $5.60 microcontroller here on my table right now. It has an L1-cache and if I program it in a way that it generates cache misses it's only slightly faster than a 60 cents 8 bitter.). The algorithms have to stay local in memory, which means that in high performance applications YOU have to control memory layout and not your compiler. FP ignores all of this for the sake of purity. It's like the guy who expects great love making from a woman who has never been with a guy before. That ain't going to happen, either.
