As a side note on this discussion, isn't it so that the current CPU
hardware evolved in such a way that it is better suited for imperative
programs? (I'm not talking about the GPU, that's another story). I mean,
hardware gets optimized to run applications faster, but these
applications are mainly written in C/C++, so you get a nice feedback
loop here...
Is it possible to design hardware that is better suitable for functional
languages?
