In the world of software development you (almost) never need to worry about your technology being frowned upon, because...
Give it 15 years and a new batch of genius newbies will be reinventing it as better than the standard technology they were trained on.

In a decade and some, a brilliant person hating functional programming will invent something better... probably a new way to do JavaScript programming... it'll have 2 main objectives... Prudence and Reusability... each of those solving 2 problems each found in functional programming.
They will probably call it the Micro-Ecology methodology. (It will work well with Micro-Services and Micro-Frontends... and it will encourage environmentally friendly concepts!)
...
The only time you need to worry is if your favored technology is too RAD and doesn't need a command prompt... then beware.
