Statistically most of ones coworkers will never have looked at and used to write actual code with a functional language, so it is understandable they don't get it. What makes me sad is the apparent unwillingness to learn such a thing and sticking with "everything must OOP" even in situations where it would be (with a little practice and knowledge in functional languages) simple to make it purely functional and make testing and parallelization trivial.

I'm not against functional languages. My point was that if you want to encourage others to try it, those two are not what you want to lead with.
