Really? I have seen — across many jobs and company sizes and frameworks, over about a decade — a slow but inexorable trend of moving toward FP. Be it in React, where hooks are pushing everything to be functional; to the fact that Monads have started showing up in unexpected places in codebases I’ve worked on; to the fundamentally functional nature of frameworks I have to use every day working at a FAANG. Along the way, until the FAANG, I never met any functional advocates. What I did meet are people who reach for the appropriate functional tools when building solutions; others see the much better solutions they arrive at, and copy.
