On the contrary, languages like C++ (and Java) and C# are full
of concepts and ideas coming from FP languages.
For example, the catch/try/throw construct is coming directly from Common
Lisp (Lisp is a (although impure) FP language).
I would not be a bit suprise to see tuples, lists and cons(es) introduce in
the next generation of languages.
FP languages are to VB or C++ what F1 cars are to a Chevrolet or Diesel
trucks. You don't get a liter of milk with a F1 car!
Moreover, OO is only one way of doing things: it is amazing the numbers of
projects (and working) that are *not* programmed
with C++. If you what to see the limitations of OO and C++, take a look at
the MFC, MFC architects had to introduce macros.
