Ask HN: Are functional programmers more upset about how good AI is at coding?

4•amichail•51m ago
One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elegance of the implementation is not that important to them.

no not at all,AI works extremely well with this mode
amichail•48m ago
That's not what I asked.
markfsharp•43m ago
I think the premise is mostly wrong, and it confuses functional programming with aesthetic programming.
amichail•37m ago
Don't functional programmers want to make programming more difficult so that writing routine apps becomes more of an intellectual challenge and elegance of the code is a major part of that?
coldtea•29m ago
No. I mean, this framing is not even wrong, it's merely absurd.
amichail•25m ago
Maybe that's what most programmers using hybrid languages are secretly thinking.

Says who?

Shashiwatchdog•20m ago
I don't think functional programmers are necessarily more upset about AI being good at coding. If anything, FP tends to emphasize concepts that AI is already quite good at manipulating: composability, immutability, pure functions, and well-defined abstractions.
