This is a question that’s been on my mind ever since I did my master thesis in 1997. And yes, I agree that FP is not it (my school was heavily FP-influenced).
IMNSHO, architecture-oriented programming is what OO wanted to be. Or maybe it should be called connector-oriented.
In short, in addition to a library of data types / classes you can use, compose and adapt, you get a library of connectors you can use, compose and adapt.
Another way to think of it is tamed metaprogramming or language-oriented programming on rails.
