On programming languages: It also doesn't matter whether the language has such a good support for functional programming when you don't care about doing in on the small, inside inner-inner-function level, so `map`, `foldr`, functor or whatever... make no much difference. As long as you have the basics, like "first class functions" and "lexical closures", you can do "large-scale functional" programming in languages like Go just fine. It actually feels more refreshing in a minimalist language like this and with a minimalist and explicit type system :)
