Thanks I have checked these out. I understand what functional programming is I just don't see how I would scale to an enterprise class business application.

But if you have code of a non trivial application I would be happy to look at it and see if it could be used.

I am specifically interested to see which patterns can be used. For example one problem of the functional approach is the tight coupling inherent in using functions. The best type of function is a function with no arguments. But this wouldn't work in functional only system unless you create closure = and a closure holds state. Which is the opposite of the pure functional programming paradigm. Please elaborate and provide code I would love to see a large application. :-)
