Type Theory and Functional Programming

[Brian T Rice]

Hello,

While this is a reasonable suggestion, functional programming as you
describe it is not useful enough for Tunes. The current website doesn't
make this explicit enough, but of course that's not really your problem.
At any rate, thank you, but please do a little more research before such
blanket suggestions.
