I agree but this is only half the story. Ocaml has objects, and is
basically an imperative language. But it also has gc, variants,
modules, functors, type inference, and lexically scoped 
intensionally polymorphic functions with closures.

I would say it isn't Ocaml but its user base that is 'functionally
oriented'.
