I am huge fan and I think every developer should learn it in a language that does it well so that we can become better programmers in all languages. Functional programming is easier to test, reuse, and reason about, according to John Hughes Why Functional Programming Matters. I agree. The more you stick to FP for a good deal of your code in a large codebase in an imperative language the easier these things will be too.
