A little bit of superficial research on Wikipedia has convinced me that I

I'm not convinced that is bad.
The whole "side-effect free" is not necessarily the panacea functional
programmers make it out to be.
It is, in fact, an admission that programs have nowhere near the
robustness they need and fall into a heap when something even slightly
goes wrong.
I also suspect that if you were to scratch F#, you'd find large blocks of
OCaml code in it.
And I'd rather use OCaml.
Functional progrmming doesn't need a cheerleader. It needs a problem to
which it is an actual solution.
