I see some tweets about "post-functional" as if functional were a cute trick that is passe. The world is already post-functional: imperative is post-functional: the lambda calculus is older than it all. Functional is not a cute trick: it is a profound consequence of Curry-Howard.

How is the lambda calculus defined? In terms of term rewriting, a technique descended from the formal systems of Russell and Whitehead. Who even introduced "types" into logic? Russell and Whitehead, as a way to avoid Russell's paradox.
