Coding Styles section mostly detracts: Agree; plan to remove "Coding Styles" section
Line 129:
 
: Agree. This section should be cleaned-up. No point in listing non-functional languages. Sure, any imperative language can have `fib(n) = fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)` defined, but that's not the point, or else this list will grow indefinitely.

I agree. I do not think that including these examples provide much value at all; there is already an example of imperative vs. functional programming at the top of the section. I don't even think the Haskell part should remain: I don't think that showing different coding styles is particularly relevant to an understanding of FP, and something like that would be better suited for a Haskell tutorial rather than an encyclopaedia article. I would like to remove the entire "Coding Styles" subsection if there are no objections. [[User:Quuxbazbarfoo|Quuxbazbarfoo]] ([[User talk:Quuxbazbarfoo|talk]]) 21:43, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
