We had a lunch & learn on functional programming, where the company paid for lunch and I taught an hour intro to fp during lunch time. It made people curious about fp.

There are a lot of things you can put into your codebase today, that wouldn’t raise any fp alarms.

I would suggest starting by teaching your team filter, map, reduce. This would be a great way to reduce for loops.

I recommend taking small steps and not trying to go full functional, especially if you are the only one who knows it.

Cheers!
