I found another article linked from the one linked here more interesting, but it's not about "FP" but only about Haskell:

"Why is Haskell used so little in the industry?" - http://flyingfrogblog.blogspot.de/2010/05/why-is-haskell-use...

Go and grab some popcorn before you move on to the comment section...

It's from 2010, I'd be interested in an update, just out of mild curiosity.

the company i work at, https://obsidian.systems currently employs 10+ full-time Haskell developers. I'm not sure what the exact number is because we've been expanding lately. https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/49jjff/haskell_opp...

The answer to that 2010 blog post is that the ecosystem has dramatically improved in the last 6 years.

Sorry, but that's no proof.
The article wasn't particularly good, even in 2010 ...
