Most broken ribs heal on their own within six weeks. Restricting activities and icing the area regularly can help with healing and pain relief.
Many of the most widely used programming languages (such as C++, Delphi, Java, Python etc.) are multi-paradigm programming languages that support object-oriented programming to a greater or lesser degree, typically in combination with imperative, procedural programming.
My own suspicion is that hybrid, multi-paradigm languages such as Scala or OCaml will likely dominate over purist functional languages in the same way that pure OO language (Smalltalk, Beta, etc.) have influenced mainstream programming but haven't ended up as the most widely-used notations.
