Functional programming considered useless.

Seriously, besides XMonad, has Functional Programming (FP) produced anything useful?
GOTO or GTFO.

Functional languages are awesome, not so much for use (fuck, who does?), but for ideas. If it wasn't for functional languages we'd probably be writing in BASIC.

Also, it'll be interesting to see how many procedural languages survive the transition to highly-concurrent systems. There's a reason why Erlang is functional/has a GC/uses a VM. <- zOMG EVIL!!1!
