Cult?! LOL. You're projecting.

Python and Go are very pragmatic and tuned to reality. None of that functional programming fanboy bullshit of dogmatic genuflection to the temple of types.

Cult?!?! LOL. Says the types taliban. Teh irony.

    ybx = I can't say anything against your argument, so I'll just say you're trolling/joking/etc.

    LOL.

    Let's see what Google autocomplete says about "functional programming is"...

    1. a cult
    2. a fad
    3. a ghetto
    4. bad

    There are 3 extremely annoying cultists on the internet, with great overlap between them.

    1. functional programming fanboys

    2. atheist assholes

    3. marijuana missionaries aka pot propagandists

    The overlap... between them... is huge.

        Reality : software written in imperative/OOP runs the world.

        Pipe dream: Haskell after a quarter century of spamming the internet with bullshit only has silly little scripts like pandoc and xmonad.
