I don't think anyone is arguing that, say, Standard ML isn't a functional language, and if anyone did, they would probably be laughed out of the room.

  Well, even on this thread FP is being discussed as a set of Haskell features, starting with the idea that all FP languages use immutable data only. Which would make Standard ML not a FP language. :)

    Then I guess we can start laughing at some people, yes?

      It seems like so, but I rather prefer the quixotic way that some education is still possible.
