This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. PHP sucks for functional programming. It doesn't have closures, has an awkward way of creating anonymous functions (using the excessively verbose "create_function") that isn't implemented well (can't do recursion and create_function is horribly slow), doesn't have list comprehensions, etc. Ruby has all those things. Thus, Ruby wins.

Faggot is confusing functional programming with imperative programming.
The faggot confused functional programming with using functions because objects suck.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Python sucks for functional programming. It doesn't have closures, has an awkward way of creating anonymous functions (using the excessively verbose "lambda") that isn't implemented well (can't do tail-optimized recursion and is horribly slow), doesn't have list comprehensions, etc. C has all those things. Thus, C wins.

Alright, I think we've adequately demonstrated functional programming is overrated now.

No, we've demonstrated that PHP is a retarded language that lacks features which pretty much every other language of its kind has.

PHP is a _real_ language, not a toy functional language.

He mixed functional with procedural. Who cares if he does not what the fuck functional programming is? He's a PHP user and HENCE DOOMED FOR LIFE. I can tell by the text from seeing quite a few PHP users in my time.
