Fascinating content. As someone burdened by working in a wildly non-denotative language (Python) but who would love to return to functional programming someday, the vision is very appealing.
I like FP because it allows me to be lazy; quoting the author:
> A denotative language resembles a dictionary or encyclopedia, where one can understand an entry by reading it and what it references. A non-denotative language resembles prose, like a novel, which you have to read cover-to-cover to know what happens, even if you only care about one specific character.
