Hmmm. Of course, I have no idea how to do proramming, let alone functional programming, properly, but I'm using Mathematica all the time to look at data. Usually I apply a chain of functions to the data to transform it to what I need to see. This is not how I would program an application, but for interactive data analysis, it's my tool of choice.
