Lots of people talking about functional languages these days: Charles Cook, Chris Double, James Robertson. Even Sam Gentile's picking up on generative programming. Something's in the air, for sure.It's not the air, or the water. There are real deficiencies with the language tools that we are using today. Deficiencies for which solutions have existed for 10-20 years, depending on how you count.
