Demystifying the most feared terms in functional programming - and how Elm teaches these concepts without ever mentioning them

I've been writing software long enough to remember when "don't reinvent the wheel" was gospel. Find a library. Import it. Move on. The assumption was clear: someone else's maintained code beats your one-off implementation every time. That assumption is breaking down. Not because libraries got worse—they didn't. Because agents
