Some big-name ivy league around the early-to-mid 2000s notoriously ditched Haskell for Java and that caused quite a stir (isn't that why "Why FP Matters" was written, or re-written?).. so rather they'd have to "get back" to teaching FP. That alone though may also not suffice though, all that gets the ecosystem is super-generalized hyper-abstract "libraries written by and for PhDs".. not that I'm anti-intellectual I don't think, but if we're talking about "taking off".. programming always took off with "the tinkerers" first and foremost. (Sure, some went on to get hooked on Category Theory but certainly not most!) I guess FP needs the kind of "OOP summer" hype we got in the mid-90s to mid-2000s. And I kinda feel that's in full swing just not coming into full view just yet.
