Worse, there doesn&#x27;t seem to be a point. It sounds like a Haskeller&#x27;s rant over how OOPers don&#x27;t understand basic  concepts. And, to be fair, a lot of them don&#x27;t, can&#x27;t count how many times people have mistaken static typing for object-orientation.<p>But this isn&#x27;t the way to point that out. Should we be surprised that a modern multi-paradigmatic programming language can be used to code in a functional style?
