This is a great piece and probably mirrors the process that a lot of us have gone through over the years. I know it definitely rang true for me.
I would hazard to guess that functional programming or any other solution will go through the same type of evolution and we will be looking back in 10 years at how immaturely we used the technology. Then we will circle back to yet some other technology that was previously used and went out of style, with some new insights added.
It seems to me that we go in a great big circle over and over again, picking up a little bit of new info each time around.

On a larger scale paradigms usually pick a spot along the verbosity continuum. Concise and information dense or verbose and information free? This is another eternal cycle. Some modern java looks about the same as 1960s COBOL to me.
