		virmundi on Aug 6, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Pissed off about functional programming (2005) After years of trying to force things in various languages and frameworks (like MVC ala Struts on top of WebForms), I've learned this simple thought: don't kick against the bricks; they don't care and you'll get hurt. If you're in Ruby, program idiomatic Ruby. If you're in Python, program idiomatic Python. If you're in PHP, get a new language.

And if you're in Ruby or Python or whatever, and the language is a bad fit for the problem, use a different language for that problem.
