This is fine but it's just a rehash of old well-knowned stuff.

I don't see the value of learning this stuff one random blog post at a time.

There are many books and established blogs with long series of material to give you an education.

Do you have an example of the many books and established blogs that you can share? A newcomer might not be familiar with where to start when attempting to learn more about functional programming.

I'm a big fan of Haskell Programming from First Principles. That's where more advanced ideas like Monads started clicking.

Let's keep repeating it until it gets more adoption.

Known by you, maybe.

None of these "affirmations" are common in any code base I work with, unfortunately.

It's a pretty good collection and summary of ideas I've only seen scattered around, before.
