Erlang is not a pure language, but it does have language and library features that make it easy to write purely functonal code.

It's funny how commenters keep clinging to Erlang as if I said it was purely functional, when I'm actually talking about writing purely functional Perl (and to the extent that it's possible, C).
Oh well.
