what's the point of FP if processors are still Von Neumann?

You are shooting yourself in the foot by thinking in a manner inconsistent with the computer.

The greeks had it right, we should be using rational numbers.

Suck my slimy, scaled dick you idiot. I already told you I don't give a fuck what you meant, and I'll be super clear about it now: you, retard, and an idiot of the lowest grade, you innumerate, illiterate subhuman monkey. What you meant is as wrong as your very existence. If you had any idea how stupid you look to literally everyone else on earth by continuing to press this lost cause, you'd give a single shriek to the sky, tear your throat open with you bare fucking fingers, and bleed out on your keyboard and die.

Why is your dick slimy and scaled? You should visit a doctor, that shit ain´t normal.

... Ouch, man.
Anyway.
``Computer'' was coined to refer to a human with a degree in mathematics performing computations, and I am pretty sure they didn't come with BIOS or a front-side bus.
Functional programming is the application of computer science. All other programming is a bit-flipping compromise.

If you actually read his paper, you would know it's about denotational semantics and equational reasoning, which is precisely the whole point of Haskell.

Functional programming could be done by a pencil pusher with a slide rule. All other programming creates worlds and breathes life into machines.

Creating worlds could be done by a starving cartoonist with a pencil.
Breathing life into machines is done by mechanical and electrical engineers.

It is the computer wizards who breathe computers to life with our spells. A computer without computer spells are nothing more than empty shell of an organism.

A review of the 1977 Turing Award lecture by John Backus - Edsger W.Dijkstra

In short, the article is a progress report on a valid research effort but suffers badly from aggressive overselling of its significance, long before convincing results have been reached. This is the more regrettable as it has been published by way of Turing Award Lecture.

Right, this is a good read, and Dijkstra isn't an arrogant, abrasive benis whose opinions we should actively discredit because he is the source of one of the largest cargo-cult brainwashing phenomena of the educated world.

Backus's 1977 Turing Award Lecture is another source.

continuation passing style and monads and the like are all abstract bullshite you're never gonna use in the real world

I passed a continuation once, and boy did it hurt!

In this particular case Dijkstra was actually right, you know. Backus' lecture promoted a good idea but it was not exacty of high quality.
Also
Dijkstra isn't

So the guy finds something to attack in the delivery of a message. Let me guess, he was a grammar nazi too?

Typical Dijkstra, what did you expect?

I want to ram my thick, hard Dijkstra into Okuu's ravenous Backus

Dijkstra would make a perfect /prog/rider if only he weren't so dead

A man named Sissa ibn Dahir invented the game for an Indian king, who admired it so much that he had chessboards placed in all the Hindu temples. Wishing to reward Sissa, the king told him to ask for anything he desired. Sissa replied, "Then I wish that one grain of wheat shall be put on the first square of the chessboard, two on the second,
and that the number of grains shall be doubled until the last square is reached: whatever the quantity this might be, I desire to receive it." When the king realized that all the wheat in the world would not suffice, he commended Sissa for formulating such a wish and pronounced it even more clever than his invention of chess.
