@EyalL I mean FP as a thesis explained by Hughes, Wadler and subsequent others.

@dibblego denotative programming? Programming with functions? Multiple definitions by different people means there must be no such thing eh?

@EyalL There are not multiple definitions and if there were, nobody made this inference until now.

@dibblego what do you think of Conal's posts about it? "C is purely functional" forego "functional" for "denotative", etc

@EyalL It is a sentence I have said myself, before Conal even put pen to paper. But I also think it is wrong.

@dibblego or do you take your statement back about only educated folk such as yourself knowing the consensus (and failing to communicate it)

@EyalL I didn't say that. But no I don't take back the one you are alluding to. Conal is right if you read it properly.

@dibblego http://conal.net/blog/posts/is-haskell-a-purely-functional-language … besides the title, note the "and paradigms" part. Clearly no consensus on what fp means.
