The fact that you think there is no such thing as an OOP language
doesn't stop the many programmers from using the term. I think
most people wouldn't put Haskell in that category. Similarly, there
may be no such thing as a "functional programming language", but most
people would use some criteria (presence of first class functions,
lexical scope, ...) to determine membership in this class.
This is way off topic, and actually, I agree with almost everything you
wrote anyways...
