in reply to If not 'Functional Programming', then what?

Why is that Not It? Are you referring to the interview with MJD where he says Lisp is a bad example of functional programming?

    The best line in that interview is:

    TPR: Are you surprised that after a couple of years of working on a book about functional programming in Perl, Autrijus Tang has lit a fire under the community by using Haskell to write a Perl 6 compiler?

    MJD: Everything Autrijus says and does astonishes me.

    That made me laugh out loud at work.
