Functional programming is fun and I like it. But I don't know if it is going to come close to replacing C++ and C#. I would LOVE to see parallel LINQ work, but I am skeptical.

@samdnp: IMO funcional will continue to _change_ languages, libraries, and patterns; but it will hardly _replace_ the current mainstream languages. After all, OO and imperative programming haven't become obsolete just because a (very old indeed) paradigm shows up.
