> Good luck trying to use a functional-first language, aside from maybe Scala

While they've moved away from it in the last few years, the Broad Institute had a huge investment in Scala. It's been in use there since at least 2010 and I believe longer. The primary software department was almost entirely Scala based for several years. That same department had pockets of Clojure as well.
