OCaml For the Masses

CowboyRobot writes "Yaron Minsky of Jane Street argues that the time has come for statically-typed functional languages like OCaml and Haskell. He cites many reasons and illustrates what he says is the most important, concision: 'The importance of concision is clear: other things being equal, shorter code is easier to read, easier to write, and easier to maintain.'"

See, as an old school user of vi, emacs doesn't make the case for a functional language being useful.

In fact, quite the opposite. :-P
