== D language? ==
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 [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.misc/gOZWUGWVmCw 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)
