    Functional Programming is the great paradigm shift that is sweeping through software development.

    Prepare yourself for the cutting edge!

    Especially for those who loved the "Programming Trends" item ;)

      :confused: and why did he write like that?

      What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

        I assumed it was a joke about the way many functional languages order their syntax.

              This article isn't actually about Functional Programming at all, it's a comical put down of the FP paradigm by someone that clearly doesn't understand it.

              "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter

                  There is a series of articles on learning Haskell called "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good". I presumed he was riffing on that theme.

                        It's certainly funny. They ought to write some CP articles. A few light-hearted articles might be a good idea :-D
