I don't usually (get to) talk much in our team meetings. This one time I suggested we try FP for a new internal project - and the backlash I got was quite unexpected. Merely the mention made my teammates launch into a dozen different assumptions, before I even finished the sentence. I was shut down pretty quickly. I was surprised, because usually they are at least receptive to hearing out new ideas. I think outside of HN, there's a large chunk of people out there who just have this prejudice about FP. I am only about 10 years into the software industry and I feel like I'm missing some history that is not recorded anywhere, but lives as a tribal memory.
