Are you not just moving the goalposts? The original article was "took the world by storm", not "took the FP world by storm". As part of the wider programming world FP languages are a tiny minority, regardless of how many impressive companies we rattle off. JS and Python absolutely rule the roost at the moment.

If we wanted to treat it as an argument, we'd have to nail down the parameters for what "taking the world by storm" means objectively, or the author would have to clarify what they meant subjectively.
