Python has tons of functional features [1] while not being a purist FP by any means. This article liked to say quite often that "X would be impossible in Go or Java!" and I kept thinking, "I bet it's possible in Python, just not as academically wonderfully as you were hoping".

As it turns out, Python continues to be one of the top three languages in terms of popularity. It's not clear if this has helped feed a bigger userbase into purist FP languages though.
