Heh, after decades of functional programmers being the "well, actually..." crowd at every conference, turns out they were right all along.
Just for the wrong reasons!
The pitch:
AI generates tons of plausible-looking garbage
Static types catch garbage at compile time
OCaml/F#/Haskell fans quietly sipping tea in the corner
The irony?
We spent years debating static vs dynamic typing for human developers.
But the killer use case may ended up being catching AI hallucinations.
Finally, a business case for monads that doesn't require a PhD!
Time to dust off those Haskell books. Who knew safety could be so profitable?
Plot twist: Category theory becomes a required interview question by 2025
