http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming#D <- Why is D chosen as an example of an imperative language that also does functional programming? This trend of filling all Wikipedia pages with advertisements of D makes me vomit. I don't see any reason why D should be considered in this context. It's an unpopular language without formal semantics.. The language author didn't even know what higher order functions are some years ago (see Jon Harrop vs Walter Bright).

:D is pretty similar to C. I found the example helpful in its familiarity. Even if it is unpopular (currently [http://langpop.com/ ranked 15th on langpop], over the other example languages) and despite any faults it may have for functional programming ({{citeneeded}}?), it is useful for examples just by being familiar to C-family programmers. --[[Special:Contributions/72.226.86.106|72.226.86.106]] ([[User talk:72.226.86.106|talk]]) 18:54, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
