I don't like the term 'functional' there, as it's misleading...
Languages like lisp, haskell, ... are commonly referred to as functional
languages, where languages like C (and non-OO PHP) are referred to as
imperative or procedural. I think that should be rephrased... maybe
titled as 'traditional interface' or alike.
