Ironically, my own use of C/C++ is tending more and more to adopt 
functional idioms.

My experience with traditional FP languages is limited to reading about 
them, and writing some very small programs in Lisp. But I think that D's 
support of immutability and purity go a long way to supporting FP 
idioms, a lot longer than C/C++.
