python will be the last man standing with basically no functional goodies

people will keep on trucking with their "pythonic" for loops containg appends to a list that was initialized right before, their disgust for recursion, their absence of lambdas, the lack of monadic return types or containers

Python has had `map` and friends for well over 20 years. Also see the built in `functools`

List, dict and set comprehensions, generators are used quite a lot in Python and feel very functional to me.
