Below is a great article about functional programming using Microsoft Products. I don't agree with the endorsement of F# or LINQ over XSLT. It is worth noting, however, that F# and LINQ are Microsoft products whereas XSLT is opensource, not married to any platform and is older and more tested than F# and LINQ combined. I would not want people using XSLT if I were Microsoft either. That said, I am extremely pleased to read about Microsoft's endorsement of functional programming! You will be too when I get back to you about that missing CLR. ;)
