Most decently popular posts about functional programming seems to have a good deal of meta-comments about functional programming such as "is functional programming even useful?", "it will take over the world!", "My father didn't need it, my brother didn't need it; I don't need it". Sometimes, the discussion thread is almost only meta-discussion of functional programming. Just an observation.
Note, that I am decidedly not saying functional is bad. Just questioning why we do not focus on mixed usage of it and imperative. We used to. We don't any more.
