Python and Javascript are mixed paradigm languages. You could 
argue if purity and immutability are part of FP, then Python and 
Javascript lack essential parts of FP and are not mixed. That is 
a good point. It is also what hardcore FP programmers think about 
those languages. They pity them.

If FP is about being declarative, then logic programming (Prolog) 
is even more so.
