Fast and Concurrent
The last decade has seen a paradigm shift in programming.
The CPU evolution has been towards multicore architectures.
That means in practice for programs that they can be faster by running multiple tasks in parallel.
Getting concurrency right is not straightforward with most traditional programming languages.
Also the Object Oriented dogma of the decades before is showing its limits, and when it comes to sharing mutable state, the trouble starts.
This is where the functional approach is shining, and getting some attention.
