Pitfalls/Disadvantages of Functional Programming

Viewed 26489

When would you NOT want to use functional programming? What is it not so good at?

I am more looking for disadvantages of the paradigm as a whole, not things like "not widely used", or "no good debugger available". Those answers may be correct as of now, but they deal with FP being a new concept (an unavoidable issue) and not any inherent qualities.
