What's folks most interesting ways to arrive at FP?
Mine isn't most interesting.
I did some interesting (I think so) research in visualisation and coded
it in C. Then I tried to extend it - speed it up, add more features,
etc, - and found C unsatisfactory. It is error prone and C programs
cannot be modified easily.
Then I tried some macro languages, M4 and like, again without
satisfaction - the same modification failures. No one can keep things
tied up for me.
Then I search and roam, I left my visualisation research behind
programming languages field and found Haskell. It got me by syntax then
by type system.
I still hope I'll return to visualisation research.
