jedi_stannison Why functional programming doesn't catch on

Although a lot of functional programming tutorials are very mathematical like the author says, not all of them are. Real World Haskell (http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/) is a great book on Haskell that shows how to actually solve real world problems using functional programming. Maybe with enough references like this FP will catch on? Or maybe lack of good documentation isn't what's holding it back?

jedi_stannison Ask HN: good books about military strategy?

I'm reading The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene now and am enjoying it, I have also previously read the 48 Laws of Power by him which is written in a similar fashion. Very extensive and uses a lot of historical examples from both military and other fields such as politics and business.
