Like it has been stated, FP is based much more on being a math language. That makes it Grade in the classrooms for teaching people how to write provable coding. We are getting to the point in our society where the kind of software we write cant really have mistakes, and proofing allows us to minimize errors to a much more acceptable level. Plus it stops people from using iteration over recursion, and that is OK in my book!
