FP

I think that Functional Programming is almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to see an interesting piece of code that comes from these FP people.

You're still not making a point. Many simulation libraries double-buffer their world, or fine-grainedly allocate new numeric structures as they mutate.

FP parallelism tends to be a superset of mutating parallelism (including pipelined message passing), not a subset. The parallel situations FP can tackle are the hard ones. Have fun pissing about with the simple ones.
