My fav quote of his:
"The problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle."
Continued: "If you have referentially transparent code, if you have pure functions — all the data comes in its input arguments and everything goes out and leaves no state behind — it’s incredibly reusable."
👍 His encouragement to write pure functions radically improved my code.
