Oh, I agree with the strengths and weaknesses, and obviously I don't use FP for all my programming. But I somehow cannot see any functional programming hype. Where are the people heralding it as solving all problems? Even in a place like HN with a highly non-average community of programmers, the FP links are quite rare and very intro-level. I would say FP is a high-hanging fruit that's only starting to find a few niches in real-world programming. So I son't see anything close to an FP hype, nowhere near to the Java hype or Ruby hype.
