That's quite insensitive. Functional programs have feelings. Haskell is probably crying somewhere right now. :(( :laugh:
Eddie Haskell?

No, it has less popularity because it applies to fewer situations. But when it does... :cool:

Have you ever tried it? Functional languages will take your feelings and crush them. Seriously, it'll leave you battered and bleeding and crying like a little baby. Of course when you get past that point it can make for some nice and clean code :D

Your message has been marked for moderation since it actually makes sense. We're not trying to make good points here. We are trying to slam functional programming.
