Just to clarify: I meant to emphasise the _declarative_ part rather
than the functional part. There are plenty of LISP engineers, for
example.
However, I stand by the rest of it, as far as crude generalisations
go. There's a lot of functional _programming_ happening, but not very
much _engineering_. I hope everyone understands the difference.
