Functional programming not more productive

Functional programming is not be more productive than imperative programming.

Besides the fact in practical cases, you can hardly do a real application in pure functional programming and how it sometimes complicates things by making you think things in a twisted way, there's a problem with functional programming:

Every time I write something that's actually much faster than having written the same thing in an imperative paradigm, I spend all the time I saved fapping to it.

the "twisted way" is the "mathematical way", which is why it's a thousand times easier to write mathematical stuff with functional languages.

what's a real application? it doesn't make any sense at all, it could be AI, image processing, networking, DBs...

my conclusion is: you suck and you don't know what you're talking about.
