I have this article printed and I read it occasionally, if only to try and reach a deeper understanding of the points made in it.
This isn't about functional programming, ML and Lisp even predate this paper. I shall quote myself from a previous submission: "The paper describes function-level programming, it is different than functional programming; see the languages APL, K, and J."
Don't believe me? Check out the John Conway's Game of Life in APL[1] or J Language[2]. Even a high level language like MATLAB[3] still reads like normal code.
