I don't think anyone has disagreed that one can do functional
programming in ECMAScript.  (If that's what you mean by it being "that
powerful".)

When did you so challenge me?

As it happens, I explained exactly why ECMAScript is not essentially
functional in the text you've just edited -- the presence and idiomatic
use of mutable state.

Since only you know exactly what is need for a language to meet your
definition, you would have advanced the exchange more fruitfully by
explaining *why* you disagree.  *That* you disagree can be taken for
granted.
