and it's GOTOs that are "considered harmful." At least get the mythology right.

Should be "Functional Programming Considered Useless". Who really uses functional languages outside of a CS doctorate thesis?

Who would write a paper about that though? Everyone knows they're considered useless.

You wouldn't write your paper about them being useless. You'd write it about some specialized algorithm that could be done using a functional algorithm, explaining in detail every line of your nonsensical code that essentially does nothing.
