Aug 31, 2023 at 13:27 comment added panlex lol that is an esoteric term and I guess the latest buzzwords don't have an explicit definition. Someone should make an urbandictionary.com solution for this. Yeah I think scalability can go two ways - parallelized and distributed. Sounds like the answer is up to me as the opinionated expert.
Aug 28, 2023 at 15:53 comment added Doc Brown @panlex: well, you were the one who wrote "better scalability" - to be honest, I didn't really buy this. I think we would have to start by defining what kind of scalability we are talking of - scalability for using more CPUs in parallel, or scalability in terms of having more developers work in parallel on the system? I guess you mean the former.
Aug 28, 2023 at 13:55 comment added panlex thanks. Maybe what I'm asking since I haven't seen this explicitly, is in what situation would the supposed scalability of the functional approach be meaningful? If I were to add dozens of types that needed the transform etc. I come back to: Simple things can be functionalized, complex capabilities are better represented in encapsulated form. Seen strong tendency to use encapsulation inside scientific computing applications.
