Language Vb.net and C# have Linq which provides these OOP languages with FP. Switching from a OOP language to an FP language is another mater. I keep saying my next project I'll write in F#. but my designs always wind up using OOP constructs so I stick with my OOP language and use all of its FP features.

Specifically I hate all of you who thought it would be a good idea to push an update - which I've been studiously ignoring because I know what will happen - without permission?
I use a set of documents - DOCX and XLSX - on a regular basis. For example, I keep "Thought of the day" as a DOCX file so I have a bunch ready to go, and can check that I aren't duplicating (too much)
So I pin them to the taskbar list.
And despite loads of reports from me and others who find it irritating, the Taskbar icons and their associated lists (both recent and pinned) are destroyed by your updates. Every. Single. Time.
That's irritating, but when I decide to go for an update, I can take a screenshot, and restore my lists after the update.
When you push a Elephanting update on me and don;t elephanting ask first I can't. So I lose them. Which is not just irritating, it's elephanting annoying. OK, I can work it out using folder contents and some of them via your "recent files" - but since DOCX and XLSX, OTT, ODT, and UncleTomCobley files are mixed in there without any care for the app that created them it doesn't help as much as it should.

I think your problem that you are using Windows... My LibreOffice haven't run a single update without my permission...

That's why I switched to LibreOffice.
I tried OpenOffice, but ... it was a bit crap.
Excel is superb ... but Word? :shudder:

The killer Libra feature for me is that you can create and edit Visio diagrams in Draw.

But-but-but Libre Office is open source, so you can fix it yourself and submit the fix so it gets included in all subsequent updates! Everybody wins!
What do you mean, you don't have time to fix other people's bugs?

So spring for an Office 365 account and then you can complain only about mickey soft.

Hahaha! The best option is to work with .doc and .xls at "old school", if you want to work with GPL editors...

It’s a top of the line gaming system with a 27 inch monitor. My uncle sent it for my birthday next month. Currently copying everything off my old system, then I’ll set up the new one.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Can I give your Uncle my address? My birthday is in March.
