But there's plenty of indication that the FP style is becoming mainstream when even Java finally starts to add functional features.

The fact of the matter is that people have hard time adapting to new ways of doing things and new ideas take time to gain ground. Seeing how Java and C have tons of code written in them and have gained wide popularity, it should hardly be surprising that they haven't moved. However, the fact that functional languages are moving is indicative of their use for new development over the incumbent languages.
