As others have mentioned, you can desugar sequenced statements to
lambdas, but that doesn't make it functional (in the pure sense) per
se.
The purest way to view it is that after desugaring, sequenced
statements turn into lambdas, which turn into (morally) binds from the
IO monad. The observation is that when writing in ML, you are
implicitly writing in the IO monad.
