Functional Programming Languages as Free Speech?

timster asks: "Okay, we've talked about functional programming languages (see Haskell for an example) here before, and I got to wondering. A procedural program is a set of statements of things to *do*, and so has an obvious "machine" aspect to it. A purely functional program, however, can be viewed as a single mathematical *expression*, which accomplishes its "purpose" through the mechanism of being evaluated. My question is: if DeCSS were written functionally, would its First Amendment protections be stronger?"
