Even in the current programming language renaissance, FP and FL have gotten
near zero use.  J and K have niches, but I have never seen a substantial--or
significantly interesting--program in FP.

I would love to see examples of FP programs that have the same mind-blowing
effect as some of the J and K programs I've come across.
