I shared that same link a couple days ago, mostly hoping to see if it sparked some interesting convo. No one bit. It&#x27;s a silly article though given that it&#x27;s pretty clear that functional programming is actually taking over, bit by bit. Not so much the functional languages themselves, but the techniques -- Python&#x27;s comprehensions, Ruby&#x27;s blocks, Javascript&#x27;s Underscore library, and so on. I guess it&#x27;s debatable whether real startups should go &quot;full functional&quot; but as traditionally imperative and traditionally functional languages continue to converge, it probably matters less and less.
