Confessions of a Used Programming Language Salesman - Getting the Masses Hooked on Haskell
The author summaries that functional programming has finally reached the masses, except that it is called Visual Basic instead of Lisp, ML, or Haskell.
The study is serious, covering many cutting-edge fields, yet the conclusion seems a bit exaggerating.
Update:
It wouldn't be surprising that we will see more and more functional stufffs like LINQ in VB or other popular Microsoft products considering the fact that Microsoft Research has hired some of top functional-programming researchers such as Simon Marlow, Simon Peter Jones (both are Haskell/GHC leaders) and Don Syme (F# creator, major contributor of C# generics design).
I bet sooner or later we will see STM (software transactional memory) "entering mainstream" to address the issue of concurrency lock.

本文探讨了函数式编程逐渐被大众接受的现象,并指出它正以不同形式融入主流编程语言中,如Visual Basic中的LINQ等。微软研究部门聘请了多位顶级函数式编程专家,预示着未来软件交易内存等概念可能成为解决并发问题的新主流。
