Is programming in an immutable data structure functional message passing programming language just masturbation?

Frequently coercing code into this makes it less readable and undoubtedly introduces bugs.

@sun If your code is such that you can just look at it and see the shape of the correctness proof by induction you are doing it correctly.
What i have seen a lot in erlang though is people abusing processes to keep writing OO-style just with weird syntax.
That's probably the masturbation you refer to?

@sun I'd say that's mostly due to the functional part, at least I hate the lack of things like early return in Elixir.
immutable + message passing is fine for network services, although can get some time to get used to.

@lanodan It may be that I am just not used to learning something new and having to take a few years to master it.

I bought it this mobo used and it came with no antennas, i didn't realize how bad the issue was till 2 days ago i ran a test on my thinkpad t400 vs my main desktop, my main computer got 25mbps down and my thinkpad got 60
gonna order a wifi card soon (it'll be cheaper to get a whole new card than to find used antennas for this one)
Basically, its working just with half speed

@sun no but it is highly reusable in a way that might not matter for one-off applications

@snacks @mia @lucy @sun if you've ever used a complex radial menu you'd have some different opinions for sure. it works really well in vr for simple context based selections but with a mouse it gets really ugly really fast
i found the funniest possible video to demonstrate how bad radial menuing can get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFevVjeawaY

@sun With weird programming languages like that, I think the idea is that the means justify the means. You use the language to make the same mundane utilities as usual, but it feels special because you have to think differently. But does that really matter in the end?
