in general, there's this impression among newbies that art is in the gear. they constantly say, oh, you need a gibson les paul HH guitar, or an orange amp, or a boss pedal, or a wacom cintiq drawing tablet, or that one arri or that one nikon. exhausting. you don't need that shit unless you are years and years into practice. you just need tools that don't fall apart when you blow air at them. that's enough. i feel like it's almost looked up to like a status thing, like gucci or armani clothes

@kasdeya this approach meshes well in game development too where pure functions are great when they’re basically nothing more than utility functions, but given the scope of a game, it’s really hard to make it entirely pure. in fact, a lot of “bad practices” are extremely useful in game development – including the beloathed singleton pattern which is everything bad about global state as an object. in these cases, i think that conceptual simplicity isn’t as simple as “this function is pure” or “this function is impure” because there’s the entire architecture of context hanging around it. sure, a pure function is simple in a vacuum – but what about an entirely pure serialization/deserialization system which needs to capture the state of the entire game and write it to disk? it’s much easier to just have some horribly global, mutating object which knows too much and call SaveSystem.save()
this is starting to ring like the last time i replied to one of your programming posts though. i think context matters a lot when it comes to evaluating the utility of a programming paradigm

Girl: *bats eyelashes, looks suggestively at girlfriend and restaurant receipt without the tip and total filled out* so, do the hot math thing babe 
Girlfriend: *snaps out of a random daydream* oh...um...by increasing the magnitude of r, you increase the magnitude of the torque in all systems where the force vector isn't parallel.

Im so mad tho...
Like the people of Camden fucking county New Jersey could have enjoyed their Eagles games, Wonder Ice, and Hoagies; and the transsexuals of the Fedi could have enjoyed being weird freaks with no people skills who get flirted with and high paying tech jobs despite their hideous lack of ability to talk to other human beings...
BUT INSTEAD...
These two groups who have so much more than they deserve let their insatiable will run wild and decided they were going to silence me and my goose siblings and call the goose police to do their oppressive work...
YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH!!!!
