When I hear people use that argument, I usually think they're conflating adoption rates with either specialization or failure. I think Kellogg was claiming that FP is a specialist technique, great for moorlocks but not useful for eloi. But, to me, it seems more like slow adoption. I was interested to hear a web programmer yammer on about "closures" the other day. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
