Considering that you're the one who joined the thread by saying:
"This seems as good a time as any to delurk and jump on a soap box"
and "The FP paradigm is intrinsically poorly adapted to the kind of
large scale design concepts that concern most programmers. Object
oriented programming is a much better match, not because of a
conspiracy of commercial giants in the software tool business, but
because of intrinsic technical reasons. Functional programming is a
niche technology ideally suited to simple domains like language tools
and formal methods. It does not have much to say about complicated
systems," I have to say that complaining about the style of others'
comments here takes considerably bigger brass balls than I possess.
Congratulations.
Best regards,
Paul Snively
