In theory and to some degree in practice. The compiler won't fix the code that compiles but runs incorrectly. Besides, there are statically typed functional languages where compiling time is not a problem, see D.

I haven't worked with D, but D isn't a functional programming language ;-)

You will be surprised if you do ;) Multi-paradigm to be exact. Scala is a multi-paradigm as well btw.

Julia also has plenty of functional features, but is above all a practical, fast, and fast-compiling language.

The elegance is free.
