I confess - I am not smart enough to get it. I think a functional language is 
somewhat similar to a GUI interface - something that goes against the sequential 
nature of the current CPU architecture that were are still stuck with. Yes, we 
pipeline and multi-process, but we are still sequential. The difference between 
the two is that GUI is fit to be used by general public, while a functional 
language only by a fairly small community of programmers that naturally think 
that way.
