I think that's orthogonal. One can compose a mutable ball of mud out of a collection of components that individually do one thing well. A more apt analogy, though rather unbelievable (demonstrating how orthogonal the concepts are!), might be a Unix-style system where the entire environment were specified as inputs to every shell command. Nix takes steps towards this, but it's very different in style.
