I have to say, I'm not very fond of hyperbole-laden posts such as this one. People who devote the time and enthusiasm learn the details and hopefully enlighten themselves. People who lack that kind of enthusiasm will likely be confused throughout their lives across many of fronts. What is so surprising, interesting or new about this? Things are often called what they are called for continuity and for legacy reasons. What does it matter if we call it "Functional" vs. "Expression-Oriented"? Will Haskell, ML, Clojure, etc. or their impression on people change overnight because we have a new cool name? I guess a bunch of new/experimental library now claim to be Functional, but so what if they do? Maybe it's a bit too late here, but I don't see the point in this kind of sentiment.
