What do you guys think will be the best "new" programming paradigm? What's the best operating system for the market?
I hear languages like Ocaml and Scala are going to be big in the future.
Can anyone tell me what's so great about functional programming? Why do people like it over object-oriented? Is it just a hipster paradigm?
That doesn't seem to be too popular compared to how many people ask for procedural/OOP for business reasons. .NET/Python/HipsterFramework all seem to be the dominant way of coding right now.

What?
The more you can tailor a program to your desired function, the better is. Hence, the superiority of functional programming.

But don't they typically take up more space for similar functions?
