I think you're confusing functional languages with procedural languages. To me, functional and OO are on different evolutionary branches, one is not more advanced than the other.
p.s. Has anyone noticed that most of the major paradigms have removed something from programming? Structured programming removed "goto", OO removes "case" (when done well), and funtional programming removes assignment... I don't have enough experience with logical programming to know if it does anything similar.
