How on Earth did FP "lose"? Most systems I work on these days use TypeScript, it's taken over huge parts of the industry, and OOP in TS is like an after thought that most people forget is even there at all. All the TS codebases I work on are 99% functional, with most JS/TS devs leaning into it more rather than less.
