"Not everything is bad of course, lately a lot of developers switched to Ruby, Python and other elegant and much more abstract programming languages so at least developers of today are exposed to things like functional programming" Well - maybe on the python side, I don't know, but most rails/developers and apps are blissfully unaware of anything remotely functional from what I have seen (of course DHH and rails framework people have a field day).
