Why functional programming matters
My apprehension comes from lack of seeing it in the wild (i.e. scaled businesses).<p>Google primarily uses C++&#x2F;Java. Facebook: Hack. Twitter tried Scala and as far as I know, abandon it and went to Java. LinkedIn definitely tried Scala, failed, and went to Java. Square is Ruby&#x2F;Java.<p>I&#x27;d like to have something to point to as a success story of a company at scale with functional programming. Anyone know of one?
