My apprehension comes from lack of seeing it in the wild (i.e. scaled businesses).

Google primarily uses C++/Java. Facebook: Hack. Twitter tried Scala and as far as I know, abandon it and went to Java. LinkedIn definitely tried Scala, failed, and went to Java. Square is Ruby/Java.

I'd like to have something to point to as a success story of a company at scale with functional programming. Anyone know of one?
