Is it? I’m referring to real world coding to solve real world problems in order to get real world paychecks.

  You're going to have a hard time getting a job writing E, or for that matter finding E libraries, because nobody uses E. Same story with Lobster, Clean, RScheme, Cobra, or a zillion other languages that don't have much adoption. But that is an entirely separate question from it being a cumbersome programming language, which is what the grandparent comment was alleging of all ocap languages—based on, apparently, total ignorance. There's nothing wrong with total ignorance; it's where we all start. But there is a great deal wrong with pretending that your total ignorance is expertise that justifies dismissing what you're ignorant of. Believe me, I have a lot of experience being that guy. It sucks.

    I don't disagree but we have to start somewhere. For example: formally specify [the clear parts of] HTTP 1.1 with declarative programming (which will generate proper code) and that would already be a huge jump. My point is: at one point somebody has to contribute.

      You may have intended to comment on a different article, since not only does your comment not relate to anything in my comment it was related to, it doesn't relate to the security approach being discussed in the article the entire thread is about.
