Bringing Functional Programming to Work

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Advocates run workshops, reading groups and structured lessons and insist exercises are mandatory; curriculum size, frequency, TAs and homework policy determine uptake. Projects include a real-time dashboard built in Clojure that ships and helps sell the idea, and a later attempt to rewrite the main app and roll back when management forces a return to Rails. Team buy‑in, incremental low‑risk pilots, Elixir/Phoenix or Scala tooling, and translating benefits into ROI and fewer production bugs decide whether adoption succeeds.
