In brief, per Twitter, this divide has widened: > liftA2 (,) ["is","is not"] ["a FPer", "doing FP"] As to cause, my speculation is a change in what is, and is not, acceptable goals and discourse. An apathy toward establishing the common goals among all software developers.

We said "look at the green grass over here!" and some people came over, but most planted grass in their own paddocks instead, and now there are green shoots everywhere. Haven't we made progress toward what we consider should be common goals? Shouldn't our approach differ now?

I’ve seen the push lately to stop using the term “functional programming”, no doubt the concepts are becoming ubiquitous but I think it’s important to continue discussing practicing, teaching and keeping a community going in isolation as its own field
