This article explores various programming philosophies and how they relate to the management of state in software development.
All philosophies have different approaches to handling state in software.
- Object-oriented,
- Functional,
- Declarative,
- Imperative,
- Monolith,
- Service-oriented architecture,
- Microservices
However, each approach comes with its own trade-offs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to managing state in software, and minimizing state is critical. Developers must consider their domain, use case, and constraints when deciding which programming philosophy to adopt.
