This project was interesting. Recently, I’ve been digging into the functional programming paradigm. This is one of my first tries at it. I’ve been doing OOP until recently, but this project really was impressive to me. The whole implementation took about nine hours. Functional programming is much less convoluted. I spent more time programming than deciding on a good name for a certain identifier.
Not only is functional programming more efficient, but I can also see that it’s much less tedious to write automated tests for. I only have to take care of the local scope of the function I am writing a test for; there is no need to deal with the parent’s inherited mess or even any parent’s mere state. I just have to write the test for the function.
I have scraped the Cambridge Dictionary to collect the data.

Wasn’t there a video a while back of a presentation that OOP was created as a joke or something, and the person was surprised people were taking it seriously. Might have been advertised as the creator or OOP.
I took the video as a joke anyways, not a serious thing, but who knows. I don’t even remember if it was OOP, or some other paradigm, or language, or who knows what else.
If anyone could find/link to it, I’d love to watch it again, but I’m having no luck; so my memory may be faulty.
