I wish more discussions of the values of FP were this pragmatic.

I wish more discussions of the values of FP were this pragmatic. FP has brought some very valuable ideas into the mainstream, along with a few bad ones and many for which the jury is still out. I get a little tired of the people that see Haskell, for example, as the One True Way when it's clear it's a language design with its own set of tradeoffs, just like all the rest.
