Dear functional programming specialist,


I often read now in magazines about quantum-computers and DNA-computers
(travellling -salesman problem is now possible to solve for great
numbers).

What the case such computers will become realized lets say in 10 years,
would Clean (or functional programming in general) be prepared for that?
Are we than also programming such computers with C/C++?

I mean will be a functional-programming language more natural to such a
quantum-computer? Or have we to throw away all our programming languages
in the future?


Regards,
S. Gonzi
