Functional programming is dead. It never really caught on. For all the articles I saw from 2010 - 2020, functional languages are still as niche as ever. Influential languages like scala have their best functional features pulled into java. LLMs will further accelerate the decline. All the highest quality, most crucial software I have seen is written in something like Java, using classical OOP design patterns.
