> Functional languages such as Haskell, Erlang and Clojure offer powerful approaches to the problems that software developers have always faced. So do JAVA,Ruby,C#,... Why do FP folks always try to sell the fact the "OOP=bad / FP=good"?. I'm found of OOP, i'd never say "FP=bad",that would be ridiculous,FP concepts are interesting,i'd even say FP is fun. Both are tools in my box. Now if the problem is JAVA,good,we can talk about JAVA shortcomings.But JAVA is only one implementation of OOP concepts.
