I confess - I am not smart enough to get it. I think a functional language is somewhat similar to a GUI interface - something that goes against the sequential nature of the current CPU architecture that were are still stuck with. Yes, we pipeline and multi-process, but we are still sequential. The difference between the two is that GUI is fit to be used by general public, while a functional language only by a fairly small community of programmers that naturally think that way.
