I would conjecture that your perception of FP languages making progresses is an echo of your own development or of people immediatly surrounding you, and that possibly, numbers would show that there is no increase in FP language adoption.
I'm not taking a stand here, just posing a possible alternative explanation. At least, I've thought about the OP's question and guessed it was a false generalization of my own progress. Data in (dis)favor of either.
- AnimalMuppet 13y agoFP is quite popular on HN. The more time you spend on HN and perhaps similar sites), the more you think FP is popular. Is there an actual increase in FP language adoption? Probably there is, within the population that reads HN. Within the programming world at large? I have no data, but from seeing some places that claim to measure usage, my perception is that any increase in FP in general usage is fairly small.
