FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING

Good programmers don't constrain their knowledge limit by choosing what's "worth learning".

All it does is that it shows you are not interested in programming.

I need money, mate. I've been learning C++ for 5 years now and I made few games in it using SDL, SFML and OpenGL so my portfolio is there on GH. But I feel like I should learn FP, however some part of me says "it's not worth it, you can't pay your rents for programming in Haskell".

it's a meme
there are only two paradigms that will remain in future: OO and procedural
there is no need to use anything besides this because either you make software that is based on something in real life (Object-Oriented) or you just tell computer what to do (procedural)
functional programming is more like hobby, funny to use by mathematicians to write useless papers, not really valuable in real life

You should have given a second thought about doing programming. Start a business like shitty McDonald's franchise and it's guaranteed to get you more money.

if anyone has some experience in programming it's always fine to work in Java or any webdev, there is a lot of jobs and it's easy to get in

all programming languages are the same, just learn whatever you need to for the job you want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church%E2%80%93Turing_thesis

It's good learning functional programming as a hobby. Certain functional programming techniques can be easily transferred to modern OOP languages and you will write better code because of it.

Then prioritize what will earn you money first, then learn FP later.
