You did it.

You made it through an entire course and

most likely a brand new programming paradigm.

Way to stick with it.

I know that can hurt your head.

So nice job on completing the course.

I hope you enjoyed yourself, I know I did.

I was having nothing but pure fun.

Get it, pure?

Sorry, I know it's not a joke if you have to explain it.

Now that you're well on your way to being a functional programming superhero,

please make sure you swoop into the community forum and

save the day for folks who might be suffering from the paradigm shift.

The side effect of helping is that you learn more, in this case,

side effects are good.

I wanna take a moment to thank you for keeping an open mind and

trying on a new programing paradigm.

I know it's hard and you will encounter resistence.

And you will for sure see arguments as more seasoned developers

find themselves struggling with new concepts.

Like I said in the beginning, for some it's been a long time since they needed to

think in a new way, especially when they have already working solutions.

Please be supportive and

helpful, and please, please, please do not fuel the fire of flame wars.

All that battling is silly and it does little good.

A little empathy goes a long way in this field.

Functional programming is on the rise and

you'll see it in every technology you encounter.

So you have a great leg up on what is coming, technology-wise.

You can now walk the walk and talk the talk.

Check the teacher's notes for

where to go to keep up on honing your functional programming superpowers.

Until next time, thanks for hanging out.
