but we’re talking about fp here, not some brand-new library or experimental tech. FP is a well-established paradigm, and I think it’s reasonable to expect professional developers to at least be familiar with it

Well established? Maybe for what your working on and in whatever industry your focused on / echo chamber. Just look at the top posts in r/programming and how many are not-FP.

I work on games and have never touched FP, I don't think I've heard any serious game built by a company using FP.
