[[File:The_Soul-Devouring_Peace_That_Is_Functional_Programming.jpg|thumb|Artist-Engineer [[Don Tasmian]] authenticating a bootleg version of "The Soul-Devouring Peace that is Functional Programming".]]"'''The Soul-Devouring Peace that is Functional Programming'''" ('''SSDPTIFP''') is a computational performance piece by the comic mathematical ensemble [[Axiom Antics]].

== Origin ==

SSDPTIFP was conceived, and the initial score drafted, on October 8, 2020, by [[Gnomon algorithm]] engineer [[Don Tasmian]] using an overclocked consumer-grade [[scrying engine]].  Tasmian's diary includes these notes:

<blockquote>
You're not suggesting that Imperative Programming is the Light Side, are you?

Because what Imperative Programming really does is blind its cenobites to the soul-devouring peace that is Functional Programming.
</blockquote>
