Oh, scalfani, he was quite invested in FP talks too.

It's funny, I'm calling cover effect (forgot the idiom, but basically when big medias put you up, your uptick is over) on simple FP. I think mainstream absorbed most of the idioms (map filter reduce, decorators, composability, lazy streams etc) and there's nothing else in that bag to push.

That said, I do believe that FP as an abstract multi stage modeling language is still gonna help in the future because it raises provability which is something that I personally miss every day in most mainstream languages. You're never too sure about anything and it's tiresome.
