I wouldnt normally defend FP but Woz is right essentially, the right tool for the right job, FP does what he wants and he accepts that it does not produce the optimal result, I see no problem there.

I mostly program in VB in my day job, I am painfully aware that it has little street cred as a programming language, but as a rad tool for rapidly producing custom software it does the job fine, and quickly. I know it doesnt produce the fastest or smallest executables - but that is not my goal, my goal is rapid development.
