I have personally been from an FP acolyte and back, there's some great stuff there, it will improve your non-FP code to learn an FP language. That said, bending over backwards to fit the FP mindset is suboptimal, the same way as writing fully OO code is. e.g. IMO some stuff from FP should _generally_ be avoided in favour of making code easier to read and debug - e.g. recursion, maps, monads, generators etc. etc.
