I don't find the satirical framing particularly constructive. I feel like a lot of people are going to miss the point, and the article wastes a lot of words just keeping up the pretense.
I do wonder though, why functional programming hasn't taken off in a bigger way? Languages like F# are certainly very good, but their usage remains fairly small, what do they lack that would allow them to take off? Or is it a problem with too few programmers being trained in functional and not being comfortable with it?
