Anyone know of any good resources to learn functional programming? I hear the phrase quite a lot, but don’t quite understand what “true” stateless functional programming is and how its paradigms differ from more traditional object-oriented patterns.

I think "Purely functional data structures" by Chris Okasaki is a way to go

Scala is a great on-ramp for functional programming. It's a hybrid language and let's you adopt FP bit by bit.

I liked the Erlang books I read back in the day.

"Purely Functional Data Structures" by Okasaki. If you want a shorter sample, https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/chris-okasaki/redblack99.pdf …

Scala was my gateway drug, but if your brain is better than mine: direct to Haskell, Purescript or Idris takes you farther down the rabbit hole and, consequently, are more interesting if you want to compare to OO approaches. http://book.realworldhaskell.org/ is aging but IMO good.

most languages are incorporating functional features, like lambdas and closures

LINQ people: (pushes up sunglasses) "I was into integrated functional features before they were cool"
