It’s pretty odd right now that most languages are trying to add more ml features to classic oo and imperative languages. Design frameworks that are much easier to use in functional languages. Then try to make it work with imperative language or classic oo language and wonder why it seems to get add unnecessarily complexity as the app gets bigger.

Seems like we are at a start of a transition period where we will move to more functional languages over the next 20 to 30 years. I wish a large company would design and modern ml and not try to make it backwards compatible with an existing runtime.




What are "ml" features? Do you mean FP features?


I take it they mean "features from ML". Which is indeed functional, but a specific style of functional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language)
