First I need to know what your definition of FP is. I think it's safe for me to say without knowing your definition that it doesn't help with those specifically as much as it does with tying them all together and having a greater handle on what their behavior/interaction with eachother will be. > Is FP more a paradigm for computationally intensive programming?

General purpose. > I come across "FP is good" all the time, but I've never found any kind of resource to help me understand the tradeoffs between FP and non-FP, where it makes sense to use it and where it doesn't. That's a shame and I couldn't find really good ones either. To be fair though, such a comparison wouldn't be the easiest to create. I'll add it to my "attempt to blog about" list and we'll see what happens.
