The above video is about the Roc language. I havent watched it yet, but people who linked to it said it includes a functional-style implementation of QuickSort.

When you compile such a thing naΓ―vely it contains truckloads of copying and is unusable, but supposedly Roc is smart enough to translate it into an efficient in-place implementation.
