Depends very much on the language you’re using. Haskell and ocaml do fall into that category, whereas erlang and scheme are also functional languages with fairly weak typing.

If there is one thing that connects functional programming as a whole, it is that in FP, program flow is managed mostly through function application, instead of if statements and for/while loops.

Generative Graphical AI has never been approved of by the gamedevs I know.

“Nightcore = sped up normal version” was always a bit of a derogatory term towards the genre as it started to pick up steam and people got more lazier with it

Can’t find it right now but maybe I can do some digging once I’m on a computer
