Interestingly I've never seen the parallels between the Unix way and functional programming. But it makes perfect sense. Code programs/functions that do one thing and do them well. However, that's how code should work in general. That's what we got functions/methods for in the first place.
I agree, functional programming is great but sometimes I just see ideas being sold as "functional" that apply to programming in general. Splitting programs into smaller parts that are easily solvable and work in a predictable way is one of the most fundamental parts of coding.
Sure, that's not all there is to it, but I'm a little bothered that it's being marketed as the new thing.
