I'd like to second this view of things.  I'm interested in learning
functional programming to ultimately actually use functional programming in
my professional life.  I'm entirely uninterested in bleeding-edge
theoretical advances except as an interesting snapshot of the future to
come.  I am very much interested in actually being able to use the skills
I'm developing here for making, say, Yet Another Spreadsheet Program.  :-)
