Learn you Func Prog on five minute quick!

: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.

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 ;)
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

Because it's not a serious article, it's a comical put-down of the FP paradigm by someone who clearly doesn't understand it.

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

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
