Functional Programming is the great paradigm shift that is sweeping through software development. Prepare yourself for the cutting edge!

I assumed it was a joke about the way many functional languages order their syntax.

Because it's not a serious article, it's a comical put-down of the FP paradigm by someone who clearly doesn't understand it.

There is a series of articles on learning Haskell called "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good". I presumed he was riffing on that theme.

This article isn't actually about Functional Programming at all, it's a comical put down of the FP paradigm by someone that clearly doesn't understand it.

It's certainly funny. They ought to write some CP articles. A few light-hearted articles might be a good idea

Quote: "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Despite all these resources at our fingertips (or perhaps because of this abundance), it may not be obvious where industry trends are leading us. I'm guessing "semi-colons, braces, and parentheses" will continue to be popular.

Where imperative programming relies heavily on mutable state (changing an object’s value during execution), functional programming focuses on immutable state, in which a declared object retains its value throughout the process. Functional languages, therefore, provide a massive benefit over common imperative or object-oriented languages: they are inherently designed to support parallelism and heavy concurrency.
(their italics, not mine)
What BS. The world is stateful. Yes, it's totally cool that with FP you're coerced into various inversions of imperative code to maintain stateless behavior, and it is actually cool in a crazy way, but ultimately, whatever you do, the input comes from a stateful system and the output persists to a stateful system. So what you do in the middle, sure, FP can help, but you can write immutable imperative code quite easily, and you can write stateful FP in impure FP languages just as easily.
So, "massive"? I think not.
