True, most of my work was in imperative/OO languages, though the imperativeness ranged from "global variables for everything" to "No global state, predominantly immutable objects, predominantly single assignment". But I've also worked in Prolog and SQL, and dabbled in languages like UNITY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNITY_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNITY_(programming_language), so I have some degree of openness to different paradigms.
