just out of curiosity, what's the benefit of using functional programming in companies? productivity? I think the cost to find engineers proficient in functional languages would be more expensive than losing cost by using normal language such as java, python, etc.
[Shameless plug] I also created https://github.com/lucianghinda/programming-languages-in-sta... where I tried to add programming languages for top 100 companies from YCombinator and top 50 companies from Techstars.
You can find there under /results the list for Scala, but I don't have information how exactly are they using it.
Please be advice that the list is based upon resources available on the internet so probably some of them are wrong.

https://www.zimpler.com/ is pure clojure, with some haskell I think
Thanks for your recommendation, added to list.
