Problem w/ FP

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

I'm sure you are completely qualified to make that statement.

is there even a way to do this in scheme?
You're trolling, right? Of course it's possible in Scheme, Scheme isn't even purely functional.

And I couldnt think of one.
That's not Scheme's fault, it's yours.

Here's a solution in Haskell, which is purely functional:
import Control.Monad

main :: IO ()
main = do putStrLn "What is your name?"
          name <- getLine
          putStrLn "What is your age?"
          age <- readLn
          when (age > 12) $ error "stop lying, ``faggot''"
          putStrLn $ "Your name is " ++ name ++ ", you are " ++ show age ++
                     " years old and you are a massive faggot."

IHBT.
