No, this is an explanation of dataflow programming. Functional programming is only connected to dataflow programming by the fact that function application necessarily forces data to flow. Quoting myself on the esolang page for "functional paradigm":
This definition comes from a famous 1970s lecture. The author is a Scala specialist and likely doesn't realize that Scala is only in the functional paradigm to the extent that it inherits from Lisps and MLs; from that perspective, functional programming might appear to be a style of writing code rather than a school of programming-language design.
Pretty sure spaghetti code is older.
