Problem w/ FP

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-09 22:49

Functional programing makes simple things nearly imposible to do . for example I found this exercise on reddit

"create a program that will ask the users name, age, and reddit username. have it tell them the information back, in the format:
your name is (blank), you are (blank) years old, and your username is (blank)
for extra credit, have the program log this information in a file to be accessed later."

At first I dismissed it as stupidly trivial but then thought, is there even a way to do this in scheme? And I couldnt think of one. This just shows that scheme sucks for programs used by users. There is no sequential steps to actually accomplish anything

Here is a program that conforms to the current draft of the Mental Midget (MM1X) programming language.

ask the users name, age, and reddit username. have it tell them the information back, in the format:
your name is (blank), you are (blank) years old, and your username is (blank) then have the program log this information in a file to be accessed later
