and i'm sure the idea floated around in non FP languages too, but
1) mutable programming shifts the idioms very very far away from passive destructuring, they like to deref pointers and reuse memory cells
2) it's also linked to parametric type systems I believe, which was missing until cpp/java5 in the mainstream (while FP had this since milner which was in the 70s)
