Functional Programming in 5 Minutes
As a still-learning programmer, can someone point me towards the ELIF (Explain Like I'm Five) version of this?  Some of the first questions that enter my mind after reading this intro --Why is this relevant?  Why do we as programmers want to know about pure functional programming?  What are its advantages?  What's the point?  This seems to add complexity. Etc.I know there are good answers to these, but this intro has done little more than whet my appetite a bit...
