I've never connected FP with math than any other paradigm. FP is easier to grok than OO, it's just that OO was the popular paradigm when most working programmers today started out.


> FP is easier to grok than OO

For you. But I think this is far from being a given. At some point programming is a complicated thing and both OOP and FP get weird in their own ways.

I wonder, are there toy FP languages for kids, like there is a ton of imperative ones? If not, maybe there is an opening ?
