True, but it wouldn't be fun if I was the only one subscribing to a
newsgroup.

Is this group dead?

It's pretty quiet, that's for sure.

Ok, then a little deliberate provocation might help:

FP is dead! FP had it's climax in the 70/80ies. Obviously it's application
is reasonable foremost for recursive solutions. But as a sole paradigma to
do programming, it's not sufficient. Real-world problems demand multi-
paradigm solutions, and the theoretical challenges of FP are all solved.
Thus, it's logically quite here.

I think the differences are leveled more and more. FP languages are getting more
state (see the SRFI for box/unbox in scheme), and imperative languages are getting
more map/reduce.

What is not leveled is the unique terminology in FP, it took me months of evening
work to get some understanding, to be able to read the language docs, despite of 25
years as systems admin.
