I don't think it would be so hard to do but this could break interoperability with Python, the language on which Sage is based. Besides it could make Sage like a dialect of python, something that sage devs don't want to do.
Unfortunately python is not a very friendly functional programming language, although it has some constructs that can help you if you like to do things in the functional style.
