I think it needs more documentation and implication and releasing full examples of where it shines on youtube.
It could become the next big thing if everybody would share more.
Bigger community, more Q&A on Stackoverflow, absolutely ... and a clear trend in the market from OO toward FP would help (which isn't there, yet).
