This should be posted in the SWYMP. They are in need more for proper programming. 😉

The ‘biggest’ functional language (Haskell) with 130k Github repositories (per the article) is absolutely dwarfed by most other programming languages:

```plaintext
Java: 11,657,394
Javascript: 15,607,544
C: 2,243,601
C++: 2,246,888
C#: 2,247,618

```

And, as the article says, a lot of functional language features are being added into current languages such as C# and Java. I don’t see them being replaced any time soon.

Just like features added to VB \>\>\>  
It still allow “sloppy” programming.  
I still see GOTO in code.  
DIm all over the place rewriting variables for random results.

For anyone looking for career in programming, functional-programming could be a good direction.

Of course, if you know AS400, you can name your price ![;;](https://forum.cadmunity.com/uploads/default/original/1X/49b416b6b37024d28cfee893fd959b20b6de0789.gif "rofl")
