What Hacker News says?
It's pretty good, but a bit hype-y. Functional programming is not an 'antidote' to having to go back and read old code or necessarily understanding it easily. It references this: http://sorentwo.com/2016/02/02/caching-what-is-it-good-for.h... Which is interesting, but I don't see source code. 1.5-2X is pretty believable, but quite a bit less than "12 times" - which someone quoted here.
