We have a principal engineer on our team that is pushing this sort of style, hard.
It’s essentially obfuscation, no one else on the team can really review, nevermind understand and maintain what they write. It’s all just functional abstractions on top of abstractions, every little thing is a function, even property/field access is extracted out to a function instead of just… Using dot notation like a normal person.
That was the impression I got about functional programming, from what little I read about it like 15 years ago. Sounds like somebody found a pretty hammer and everything became a nail.
