Isn’t functional stuff closely related to type theory & type systems in all langs? In that sense, it’s prevented whole classes of bugs from ever getting to prod in the first place.
Depends very much on the language you’re using. Haskell and ocaml do fall into that category, whereas erlang and scheme are also functional languages with fairly weak typing.
If there is one thing that connects functional programming as a whole, it is that in FP, program flow is managed mostly through function application, instead of if statements and for/while loops.

Best code is no code at all
