It is easier to pull out scary and obscure bits of code from languages that have arcane syntax. I'm sure that it'd be pretty easy to find some c++ code that is even more difficult to read.
The whole article seemed to me to be a big "waahh this is hard, and looks funny" rather than a serious discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of functional programming.
