Business benefits of functional programming and how to make it work for your company Scale fast with Scalac

    • Business

Functional Programming is consistently gaining market share, and its popularity is growing.

Why is that?

Answer for CEO: Because Functional Programming goes exceptionally with business and scalability. In functional programming, there's less code, and there are fewer dependencies, so it enables you to develop different parts of your system/business independently. Especially in complex systems, it's the only reasonable way to scale.
