I've never heard anyone express that sentiment before. If anything the opposite is true.
A large part of writing secure code is about avoiding errors, so any language feature that helps you write error-free code is good for security. Functional programming eliminates mutable state as a source of errors, which is one less thing that can go wrong in your secure code. Functional languages often have more sophisticated static typing as well, which is yet another potential aid to producing secure code. - James On 4 May 2014 08:24, Cecil Westerhof <cldwester...@gmail.com> wrote: > I heard the stand that functional programming made it difficult to write > secure programs.
