This should be posted in the SWYMP. They are in need more for proper programming.

The 'biggest' functional language (Haskell) with 130k Github repositories (per the article) is absolutely dwarfed by most other programming languages:

Code: Select all

Java: 		11,657,394
Javascript: 15,607,544
C: 			2,243,601
C++:		2,246,888
C#:			2,247,618

And, as the article says, a lot of functional language features are being added into current languages such as C# and Java. I don't see them being replaced any time soon.

Just like features added to VB
It still allow "sloppy" programming.
I still see GOTO in code.
DIm all over the place rewriting variables for random results.

For anyone looking for career in programming, functional-programming could be a good direction.

Of course, if you know AS400, you can name your price
