FP is bad for computing the Fibonacci series unless you have the compiler optimization to turn it into a loop (as seen in imperative languages).
To be fair, most practical FP languages have that, but I never saw the appeal for a strictly functional general purpose language. The situations where I wished one could not use imperative constructs are very domain specific.
