I think we need to get past the point of believing in some FP revolution in which enlightenment happens and people suddenly switch to Haskell, OCaml, Clojure, etc. FP is happening in a more evolutionary way with newer languages like Kotlin, Scala, F#, etc. taking ideas from Haskell, SML, and Lisp.

I'm not pretending to be the first to state this observation but I feel like it needs reinforcement here.

Don't forget JavaScript! ES6 did wonders for functional programming in JS.
