>> I am sorry, but you sound like you know for a fact that functional programming is better

I can see the room for misunderstanding. My only argument is that FP is worthy of more playtime than it currently enjoys in undergraduate academia. I'd wager that the current percentage of FP/Imperative playtime is 95/5.

Ah I see. I've been out of school for a while so I don't know how students are taught - but if you take a modern language such as Kotlin, you'll see it's a mishmash of concepts from various paradigms, including FP.
