Scala does support function purity (you can write pure functions) and immutable data (you can create data that you don't write to), it just doesn't statically check either of those things :-)
That's like saying Python supports static typing, it just never checks it!
As you say, you know few people that share your opinion, so is that an opinion we want to put forward on the front page?
I don't think we should write "Scala is not a functional programming language" on the front page, or make any comments about other languages.
