I'm actually learning Elixir right now in an attempt to prove myself wrong when it comes to functional languages. It's been a blast so far.
Maybe JavaScript itself isn't a Functional Programming language per se but the majority of JS developers I've worked with - and speak to - use it as such. As far as dynamic languages goes, I agree that they're harder to manage on large projects.
I think it comes down to the fact that I like very strict rules/standards in software development, which JS (especially with Mongo) doesn't have. RoR is famous for having developers abide by the Rails way which feels like the right way to guarantee quality in a language/framework.
