TL;DR: Functional programming languages and architectures provides many features (declarative programming; immutability; higher-order functional composition; static typing with type inference; pure functions; lazy evaluation) that offer, in my opinion, more benefits than disadvantages when compared to their imperative counterparts.

TL;DR: I stopped using Windows and now I use Linux. I tried switching to it many times in the past without success but in the past 2 years I made the switch. The transition was made possible because now I have the experience and the incentives to do it, Linux distros became much more user-friendly and there’s a lot of high quality software for it.

TL;DR: I quit using Facebook more than 1 year ago and the overall effect was beneficial to me. I stopped wasting time in useless Facebook posts and started wasting time into more enjoyable internet activities. I may go back to it someday if the conditions are right. Maybe you should quit it too.
