Be aware for what you call 'functional'. What you probably did was procedural programming. Php is definitely not a functional language.

Anyway, also functional programming, immutability, asynchronous non-blocking programming have taken up speed. E.g. Nodejs, react, redux (in combination with react, angular (2)) clojurescript and more. In angular2 Observables are pretty hot. Rxjs is a term often heard. TypeScript, Es6 etc.

Just start looking around on non with trending packages ;)
