I almost didn't realize that this is the Dadgum guy. (The original URL for this post is http://prog21.dadgum.com/54.html, and it's easier to read to boot.) He has vast experience and his articles tend to be excellent. If he has misgivings about FP they are worth taking seriously. Edit: it's clear in context that his misgivings are about 100% pure FP, and he still favors a nearly-entirely-functional style.

The links in the URL you give actually work, unlike the ones at planeterlang. Thanks!

PlanetErlang reproduces whatever is in the rss feed. I just switched the RSS feed of ErlangInside.com to summaries yesterday because anytime i publish something they get the credit (and the backlinks).
