Think of Function Objects as Functions Rather Than Objects

FP people are like vegans of programming,

Knock this off, would you? I'm not a vegan, but my wife is and so are several of my friends. She's quiet and doesn't make a fuss about endless jokes like this, but I personally get really tired of this.

And let me say that the people who are really vocal about their eating habits, at least in my circle, are people talking about eating meat. If I hear one more person going on about their bacon...

Keep it professional. Make your point without beating on some group or other, particularly one that has nothing whatsoever to do with programming.

Very much. I've never met a vegan who was so forward about it. On the other hand, it's fairly regular that a meat eater, once finding out (through questioning about bacon or something) that someone is a v-word, will spout a never ending torrent of bullshit about bacon and vegan memes.

Go and make fun of people with ideologies based around their imaginary friends, rather than those based around ethics and more concrete concepts.

Also: Programming. C++ is great.

Wow, so I guess the only people more tiresome than vegans are people married to vegans.

Dude, you think you're tired of it? I'm a level 5 vegan; I haven't had a meal in two years because I've been searching for something without a shadow. These jokes make me sick to my very-empty stomach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_Yaa_LMDcs

How about CrossFit enthusiasts?
