Larry O'Brien on Functional Programming

We read:

"Functional programmers have applied modern advances in type theory to yesterday's Smug LISP Weenie to generate today's Insufferable Haskell Prick. Just as LISP advocates carefully avoid the reality of decades of Scheme- and LISP-exposed CS students who happily left those languages behind, functional advocates carefully avoid acknowledging the programmers who have filed in to the functional programming room, listened to the conversation for a bit, read the literature, and quietly left."
