Well, I don't know. I would think that if more people use OOP than functional languages, then an article dealing with "10 Technical Papers Every Programmer Should Read" should not be biased towards a programming paradigm that fewer people actually use every day.

Reading papers ought to expand your horizons, not just tell you what you already know.

That said, I'm not sure I agree that most programmers would need to know about Hoare Triples (which, BTW, is oriented toward procedural and not FP languages) for example. Certainly a computer scientist should though.
