Depends on how we define FP. Until 2010, when Haskell started to emerge as a HN fad, people were OK to define FP as what LISP programmers do, and didn't demand FP programmers know what a modad is, type theory or even use "immutability" everywhere...

If you read discussions from 2000-2005 for example, very few people define FP as "what Haskell does".

Has Haskell really been a fad here for five years? It feels like just a year or two ...
