If you think you "don't fit in" just because you're a computer nerd and 
they're gamers, then sorry but you're never going to fit in anywhere unless 
you go to a computer nerd convention.  I guarantee that the number of people 
you will meet normally in your life (ie not by going to a convention or 
whatever) that want to talk about functional programming languages with you 
will be *tiny*.  There's nothing wrong with functional programming, it's 
just everyone has their own very specific interests, and if you rule out 
anyone else then you're going to be very lonely.

Oh I'm sure there is, but if you keep telling everyone you meet that there 
isn't, then don't expect anyone to be at all interested in you.
