It's gaining a good track record because big industry giants are using it, but it's hard to force functional languages on people. The majority of people will learn OOP for a number of reasons unrelated to how good it is, while functional is becoming more like a niche artisanal craft.

Well, I mean most boot campers are being taught functional React, so, I think it's hard to justify calling it "niche and artisanal" anymore.
