In a paragraph...

or two, describe to me why you love functional programming and lisp/scheme/haskell so damn much /prog. You guys seem to be convinced that it's a superior way to program when conceptually it seems rather limited in comparison to imperative programming.

it would be quite confused when I told it to level up the Warrior. "What do you mean you want to permanently increment it's level by one?" it might ask.
Because you, as a person who apparently has zero functional programming experience, should know exactly how you would implement something in a functional language. And if you can't think of a way to do it without knowing anything about functional languages, it must be impossible.

The truth is your CPU does not think functionally, it thinks imperatively.
Because fuck abstraction, right? The CPU also doesn't know anything about object-oriented programming. Should we write programs as just a bunch of procedures operating on integers? (I'm not a big fan of OOP, by the way, it's just an example.)
