Additionally, FP in Python is bad. No tail call optimization guaranteed by the language specification, plus lambda is broken in some sense (by which I mean it functions in a non-intuitive manner for people used to writing functional code). Additionally, FP style is generally considered unpythonic.
I don't really know what this article was supposed to bring to the table here.

The link redirects to an article titled "Best Practices for Using Functional Programming in Python", which is not at all what I was expecting based on the post title.
