Haskell and ML are practically FP oriented. You might want to check out Rust for a language that is not purely FP oriented (it is multi-paradigm), yet attempts to take pragmatic choices from such languages. There seems to be a good community response to it.

The community response seems to be mostly from people who like to talk about programming language features all day without actually using it for real projects.
I think that's pretty unfair. Rust has not even reached 1.0 yet, and there are already some cool projects being implemented. There were even a couple of games written in Rust for Ludum Dare, not to mention at least one case of use in production.
Is Servo not a real project?
