My feeling right now is i disagree with this. I think there is a certain amount of clarity in functional languages that more imperative languages are striving for as they develop maybe. You seem to be able to express more for less in most functional languages. Out of curiosity, do you yourself work well and quickly in functional languages? CI/CD is also separable from this issue, i think. But the thing that you can do well with it which is write and regularly run tests is not. My thinking is the main problem is people just aren't exposed to functional languages enough and get stuck working to line theirs and other peoples' pockets before they have had enough exposure. I also have some gripes with the actual document which i will post in a top-level reply.
