Functional programming is not useful for most apps

Appeal To Authority
Bug-free software is possible
are you sure it's not run on a hypothetical 2-bit architecture (overflow happens then)? are you sure the plan was to compute 2+3, not something else (then the whole program is a bug)? are you sure the plan was to print the result to stdout? is it available at all? can't 'print' raise an exception?
