(Mr C++ argues that homo sapiens fundamentally think in an imperative way, and therefore functional programming in general will never be popular.

Sounds more like Mr C++ fundamentally thinks in an imperative way because that's what he is used to.

This may or may not be true. It would be interesting to see some research on this. Without that, I think we cannot decide either way. Cheers, Jochem

One of my first impressiions with haskell was absence of impendance mismatch between my thoughts and my code. This is not nessesarily true for everyone because people has different ways of thinking I beleive. P.S. And haskell doesn't have tendency to eat brain away like C++ does.
