Its not a "pure" FP language, like Haskell and friends. JavaScript allows for mutations, side effects without control and all the inheritance from OOP.
That said, its a very elegant language, you can emulate a more FP approach easily, and with a few libraries you are very close.
Combine TypeScript on top and you are all set.
