I went to CMU and was in AEPI fraternity with Brandon Wu. Brandon Wu is exceptional when it comes to functional programming. He was head TA of 15150 for a year, I have 100% confidence in him. He took a break from TAing for some time, and when he returned he decided to have some fun with his application. He wrote a transpiler from a C like syntax to SML the day before his interview, and used it to joke that they should transition to teaching functional programming in C.

Yeah idk anything about him in particular. I just mean that, on paper, someone who goes straight from bachelor's to teaching is someone who doesn't really have any experience. I notice that a lot of the people who extol the virtues of FP to me are a lot of people straight out of college and have little real-world reference for why FP is useful in a prod environment
