Indeed.  It seems to me that Julio confuses claiming something, and if
anybody *argues* against that claim, following up with insults, with
debunking.

Anyhow, to boost this discussion, John Hughes' "Why Functional
Programming Matters"[1] might be useful, as well as the more JS related
"Professor Frisby's Most Adequate Guide to Functional Programming"[2],
and Scott Sauyet's "Why Ramda?"[3].

Disclaimer: I do not claim that ECMAScript implementations are
functional programming languages, but rather that functional programming
can be done with those, and that it might be a preferable alternative to
OOP, depending on the task at hand.
