I suspect FP will have more resistance to cargo-cult application. I suspect far fewer people who have a partial understanding of FP will be able to hold a job doing FP than was the case for OOP.
Heck, I know of one programmer who not only held an OOP programming job, but got to write a major subsystem -- with all long deeply nested class-side methods with 4 to 5 temp variables acting as merge-sort style incrementing indexes and not a single instance method or instance variable in sight. Last I heard, she was promoted and has great job security.
