- 9. It’s all about the biz
- 10. Hiring
- 11. Relative number of programmers
- 12. Relative number of programmers
- 13. Is it harder to find functional programmers?
- 14. Is it harder to find good functional programmers?
- 15. Relative number of programmers
- 16. Relative number of programmers
- 17. Good programmers only matters for hard problems
- 18. Functional programmers are a little more expensive (on average) (citation needed)
- 19. But you need fewer to do the same work (citation needed)
- 20. Code Quality
- 21. # of bugs is correlated with lines of code (defect density)
- 22. Functional code is often significantly smaller (by orders of magnitude) (citation needed)
- 23. ∴ FP results in fewer bugs (citation needed)
- 24. Business Cases
- 25. Auditing
- 26. • Accounting • Banking • Medical records • Airplanes • Science
- 27. Mathematical
- 28. • Accounting • Banking • Finance • Science • Advertising • Web analytics
- 30. • Big Data • Realtime analytics • Communications • Banking
- 31. Hard Problems
- 32. FP sometimes succeeds where other methods have failed (citation needed)
