Hi all,
Again, I'm the new guy slowly learning this "fuctional programming" thing. :-)

So, I'm tempted to conclude that FP is only applicable to situations where user interaction is a small part of the program. For example, for simulations.
Now, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this train of thought. And I'm sure there is a good answer why I'm wrong. :-) I'm eager to hear what that might be.
