You don't even know what kind of project I'm talking about and you are saying "rather than the best tools available"? I don't get it. Do you really believe that problem field doesn't matter, and FP is "best tools available by default" for any field anyway? Go to github and see the rank of project written in Go, you will see clearly what is the niche market(not that niche I would say) I'm talking about.

Writing servers is a pretty big niche, don't you think?

That niche seems to be web servers, which is a gigantic niche, but yes I largely think its a worse tool than Haskell/Ocaml/Erlang/etc in that niche. The point stcredzero about manually laying out memory is fair, though much less important in writing web servers than in a game.
