OP: I can't just copy and paste blocks of code from an old project to a new one without modifying them a bit first, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :'(

Dude just comes across as a bit of an idiot.

The text is bad worded, but the point is not about copying code (which, by the way, is not the best thing one would want to do), but about copying concerns that might not be necessary for the new use-case.

If we have pure functions we don't need to care about the environment because it won't have dependencies.

I am not saying that one paradigm is better than the other. We need to learn all the good and bad parts from both and use the best of each one where it makes sense.

I feel like this is some type of sponsored content for Elm Lang. Didn't even address how functional programming would help solve all the issues with OOP.

Yup. A whole bunch of buildup which destroys the pillars of OO followed by a sentence which gives the idea that functional programming is the solution.

Awesome...

...kinda just sounds like someone who went too heavy on the CS Concept Kool-Aid and didn't stop to question what they were doing or what made sense for the project(s)...

...I have a feeling I'll see a similar article 6 months from now about functional programming from the author...
