  1. Functional programming will not take over the world because it doesn't need to. Most programming projects are routine and mundane and can be solved using procedural languages. Try writing a payroll, or a mailshot system (both highly procedural/serial problem domains) in a functional language. It will be VERY difficult. So the language must terrible, right? No. You just chose the wrong tool. Choose the right tool. Programming languages are just tools.
