Thank you for the post, it was interesting and made me think. I especially liked this point: "but rather that this factor needs to have a seat at the table before we have a chance of working out a balanced approach." I agree that I would like to see how functional approaches can benefit large systems, in concrete terms, since almost all of the examples I've ever seen involve micro-code like this article. I'm especially skeptical that it can make a dramatic difference for the kind of messy business code that today is usually solved by large object-oriented systems and modular libraries.
