Is functional programming really mainstream now? I think knowledge of its existence is mainstream, but interest in it still is not. Most people give me strange looks when I tell them my current programming language of choice is a Lisp dialect.
Who is they? Why do we want to beat them? What is FP? Who upvoted this?
Lot of questions....
It's about this old article, that Lisp is a secret weapon:

Now that Lisp and FP (functional programming) features are becoming mainstream, it's not a secret weapon anymore.
