If someone with a functional programming background says "imperative", it usually includes all the Algol descendants and their cousins like Simula, Java, C++, Smalltalk, Python, Ruby etc. because they don't add much to the game, they are all structured around mutable state. They just put fancier labels on the same dirty stuff.
