Here's another myth, functional code is 100x slower (than what?). Here's the counter example, Microsoft Research chose the functional first language F# to build

Here's another myth, functional code is 100x slower (than what?). Here's the counter example, Microsoft Research chose the functional first language F# to build arguably the most advanced and useful quantum computer simulator in existence. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/liquid/ http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/liquid/ There's no incentive to rewrite it in C++. It already solves real quantum computing problems like molecule simulation https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Speakers/dave-wecker https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Speakers/dave-wecker
