I really, really liked the approach that Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike
took in The Practice Of Programming, in that they did not restrict
themselves to one language.

A nice book on functional programming would use various languages, and
use those to highlight things like how eager vs.  lazy influences your
programming style, similarly for static vs dynamic typing, and so on.
But keeping it practical, showing the benefits of both ways.
