Anonymous inquired:
Do you think there's a future in functional programming?
FWIW, I’m not really interested in talking about functional programming at all. I was curious because a) I was thinking about the LISP/SEQP calculus stuff for my class and it made me feel uncomfortable, and b) I don’t really like functional programming as an idea or style; it’s just that I was writing that math class for homework last night, and I was angry about it, and the math in it was that weird, upper-level class about anger and stuff, so it seemed like an appropriate subject for my angry, mathematical personality. I haven’t really thought about it since. (It’s part of my laundry list of Stuff My Teacher Mandates I Never Talk About Because Nothing Stays Still.)
