this is a harmful article, he's either trolling or uninformed, lots of misinformation here presented as fact with an "im smarter than you" tone. flagged.
Then I'm guessing you missed all of his delightful rants about how Einstein and Hawking are morons?
I'm guessing this was submitted sarcastically.

yes, it was.
Always good with some discussion.

I've been writing non-functional programs for years.
I couldn't get through the article because he sounds like such an asshole.
FP is not bound to threaded concurrency; map-reduce is even named after the concepts from FP. Data structures can be modified by multiple threads, deterministically. Concurrency in FP is strictly deterministic, unlike most models of concurrent computation. Point 3 actually makes no sense; it's clear the author doesn't actually know any functional languages.
To be honest, the entire article is meaningless. I'm flagging it.
