What? This has nothing to do with functional programming.

FP needs polymorphism too and as a matter of fact FP tends to be even more static.

In FP we have type classes, built via OOP in static OOP languages.

It's not. You can use multiple dispatch.

But then why would you? Isn't ditching type safety a bad idea most of the time ?
