Functional programmers regularly claim: -Haskell is faster than C (lol) -FP gives you free concurrency -FP makes code more testable -FP is easier to read -FP is easier to consume for people -FP results in no bugs -FP is easier to change -FP will literally suck your peepee -Actually FP is the second coming for Christ It’s really funny how you also pretend you’ve never heard of all the silver bullet claims that are incessantly plaguing every programming forum. What’s also really funny is your multiple alt accounts manipulating your votes. You must be real secure in those those claims. |

> -Actually FP is the second coming for Christ
On a style point, you've rather undermined yourself that these are common claims because there are entries on this list that are clearly fabricated, as well as others that look like wilful misinterpretations of what someone else said. That casts doubt on the more reasonable entries. There are annoying FP evangelists out there, but the overall tone pattern matches straw-manning.
You'd have made it easier for everyone taking the whole list seriously. Transparently mixing fact and fiction just makes it harder for people who aren't already part of a conversation.
