If your program functions, it's functional.
Functions, here, being the key word.
Functions are pure mappings from input to output.
wooosh
I agree with you that if you use functions it's functional.
But many people don't really realize how that contrasts with procedures and procedural code.

Apparently my brain silently inserted "ing with" into the middle of "program functions" a half dozen times without me noticing.
perchance you were objectively oriented?
