Avoid functional scripting languages for complex applications. People try to use the functional style to write an application with half a million lines of code and then wonder why it's a chaotic mess of monkey patches and there is no organization or structure.

Absolutely - above a half million it'd be horrible.

Does python count as a functional scripting language?

Yes. I love python but there's just certain levels of complexity where it's better to use another tool. All of the massive projects using it end up rewriting in something else once they hit a certain complexity.
