Who needs functional programming...

when C has function pointers?

C, Java, and JavaScript

Accurate.

ML: Floats and ints are separate types. Converting an int to a float or vice versa is no different to converting either to a decimal string.

Lisp (Scheme): Floats and ints are part of a tower. They get converted automatically in one direction, so to work exclusively with just one type requires a whole new family of specialised arithmetic functions.

C […]: ``All my language has is floating point numbers. Integers are just a special case of floats.''

What the fuck.

If you are concerned about the accuracy of the statement, consider how the return type changes when introducing a double into an expression otherwise entirely populated with ints.
