Many people ask me to explain to them why is F# (or other functional languages) better (or different) than other languages they know (like Java, C#, C++).

Until today, I either tried showing few examples or using longs scary words or lending Tomas Petricek's book, but I find those ways either time consuming or unclear.

Is there a simple(r) way to explain functional programming to imperative programmers?
