Functions are at best glorified cat containers. I can write a script and never use a function. I can write SQL and never use a function. The Turing tape never mentions "functions" So functions are hardly the bedrock of computing that some claim it is
Categories specifically contain "morphisms". Then FP completely gets category theory wrong by trying to claim that functions are immutable. Which is it?
Instead of chasing strawmen, why not address some of the issues raised in the article directly? Code reuse? Integration? Use of convergence hardware? Interactivity?
