I don't think I would call this functional. Python is decidedly not at all functional - there's no way to declare arbitrary functions inline, no chaining of map/filter etc.

But the static types are definitely welcome. I didn't know about the type keyword. Apparently it makes it support forward references.

Does it have higher-order functions? Yes, therefore you can use it to do functional programming.

Everything else is syntactic sugar.

Functional programming doesn't just mean higher order functions. There's a range of other features that it implies.
