Ehh, not really. It depends on how you define functional programming. C# supports first class functions, tuples, some form of pattern matching and LINQ extensions support basic FP collection operations like map (Select), filter (Where) and fold (Aggregate). But I think that's just scratching the surface compared to a "real" FP language: - F# has function composition operators - F# functions are curried and support automatic partial application - F# variables and data structures are immutable by default - F# has powerful global HM type inference - F# uses option & result monads over exceptions and null - F# has algebraic data types with exhaustiveness checking These capabilities make writing code in F# a very different experience from C#. Some of these can be added to C# as features, but many things are fundamental parts of language design that are hard to change afterwards.
