I found that they were too radically different from what I was working with, and that they had different purposes than what I wanted to accomplish. I like C because most of what I was doing already related to C (in my C++ project, at least), and it has decades of support behind it. Just in general, programming in a functional language has shown me just how unnecessary my implementations were. Like, I had five classes for constructing MySQL statements which inherit from an abstract command class with the interface for implementing a SQL statement class. I replaced those with a string table that I can insert into sscanf functions. That way I can very quickly just define a new type of statement or define my own. So yeah, I'm getting some benefit from the change of thinking. It definitely requires a completely different thought process, which I've really enjoyed so far. It takes practice before driving straight in though, or that's what I found. I started by creating my own compiler for a very simple programming language called C1. That helped me put together my style for programming in C. I'd like to know more about Elixir, since you mentioned it runs on a VM. Is that similar to JVM in Java, or does it run bear metal? Everyone knows that XML is the future of programming. I mean, who wouldn't want the possibility of an infinitely complex configuration file with the worst syntax and amount unnecessary padding imaginable? Get with the times, grandpa. (Edit: Just realized that I shit on XML as well. I wonder how many markup junkies that'll upset, lol).

That, and I'm just not sure how comfortable I am using an object relational mapper for a high performance server. Caching and optimizations are already done on the MySQL server, so I guess the only reason you'd implement an ORM is to manage complexity. "sscanf" and string tables are simple enough and do the job. It also gives me a reason not to use a bloated parsing engine from an ORM when I can just use C's parsing functions (which those engines eventually call anyways). It also means no map files like the ones I keep seeing in XML. So yeah, I guess that's my reasoning.
