Pure functions are just a concept that is used in FP world

Yet, pure functions can "stand alone". You do not need FP to use pure functions. They are independent from FP. You can be OOP maniac and still use them.

So unless you want to sound fancy and trendy then why call Nix functional instead of side-effects free?
