I have my doubts. If I need to implement say Dijkstra's in Haskell and pick up a random algorithms book then it's not going to help me at all. If I then ask a hundred programmers how they would do it I'd get a hundred wildly different answers. From my point of view algorithms and data structures in functional languages are not very well understood or explained due to their stateful nature. If functional programming was the most popular paradigm I'd expect a lot more literature on this topic.
