My sense is that it's approaching steam-engine time for functional programming. It's taken decades to get there, but the scaling argument for it is sufficiently compelling that I expect the paradigm to continue to grow over the next ten years. I'll be genuinely surprised if the OO-functional hybrid isn't quite dominant in another decade's time -- that seems to be which way the wind is blowing...
