Hmm, according to wikipedia lisp appeared 60 years ago, so it's had some chance to gain ground and functional is popular currently but everywhere, soon seems like a stretch
Not sure if trolling. FP requires fast immutable data structures. Okasaki was published in 1998. Persistent data structures require amazing GC. JVM got good in 2000s. To do it in the database requires cloud scale compute and storage. AWS got good in 2010s. Datomic (functional paradigm postgres killer) got good in 2018.
