This is why Carnegie Mellon is starting freshman with functional programming right off the bat - before their absorbent young minds get infested with imperative thinking.

But it's not that, it's all the other stuff. transactional memory, persistent data structures, ref deref...etc. This guy was shooting a new big keyword every minute and only stop at it for a bit as if they're well understood concepts. Makes me wonder if the purpose of the speech is to teach something or just show off.

But yeah, FP is hard to get your head around - I guess at least as hard as learning OO/imperative the first time around.

Contrary to what Faisal said, I found that the time model has very little to do with the concept of functional programming.
