If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...

If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...

If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

Abstract:	“WHY are functional programming languages not popular for interactive programming purposes?” and “WHAT we can do about it?”
Quote:	“IMNSHO, deterministic Actors are the very best thing in existence for interactive programming, with lots of very practical benefits (from production post-mortem, to protection of in-memory state against server faults).”
