Richard Feldman：函数式编程为何没能成为主流

Richard Feldman argues that functional programming is not the norm largely because of historical accidents, such as C++ popularity, platform exclusivity, marketing spend and network effects, rather than merit. He traces the history of how languages become mainstream.

Why HN likes it: HN treats it as the standard answer to why FP isn't mainstream and why languages succeed.

“This talk by Richard Feldman is an excellent discussion about why Functional Programming is not the norm”
