I shared that same link a couple days ago, mostly hoping to see if it sparked some interesting convo. No one bit. It's a silly article though given that it's pretty clear that functional programming is actually taking over, bit by bit. Not so much the functional languages themselves, but the techniques -- Python's comprehensions, Ruby's blocks, Javascript's Underscore library, and so on. I guess it's debatable whether real startups should go "full functional" but as traditionally imperative and traditionally functional languages continue to converge, it probably matters less and less.
