It's true that hardcore FP folks have been a problem in the past, and to some extent still are. However, things have definitely gotten a lot better now. There's a large contingent of "boring Scala" folks in the online community, and its growing. See this discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/lfbjcf/does_anyone_here_intentionally_use_scala_without/ https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/lfbjcf/does_anyone_h... for example AFAIK a lot of the wannabe-Haskell-programmers ended up transitioning fully to actual-Haskell-programmers too, which is probably a win-win that's good for everyone involved. Life's to short to use a language you hate, different strokes for different folks and all.
