Well, if performance is really an issue, I guess anything that is not C, C++, rust or a thin wrapper over those languages or legacy libs written in the likes of Fortran won't be an option, so yes.

That being said, it seems like performance is not an issue for most of the code written these days, aside from not writing quadratic solutions for problems solvable in linear time.

If you use java, .net, go or the likes, odds are you would be fine with a functional language ; and if you need performance with those languages, odds are that you will need arcane knowledge equivalent to what you would need to know to make performant fp code.
