Of late, there has been a lot of discussions on the usage of advanced programming idioms in the developers' community. Are we getting too much confined within the limits of strongly typed object-oriented paradigms and ignoring the power that dynamic non object oriented languages (read functional languages) have to offer ? Some of the blogs put forward the strawman's argument dismissing the usage of dynamic languages and more powerful abstractions as somewhat elitist and not suitable for the mass programmers. C# has added lots of functional paradigms to the language, Microsoft has positioned F# as a mainstream functional language for the .NET platform. Ruby has lots of functional features, Erlang has started being in the limelight and Haskell still reigns supreme amongst all favorites in reddit postings.
