 Code_Man | i used to do some cl but i never really juved with it its kinda more similar to c | 19:38:36 |
 Myon | Are there any lisp interpreters written in javascript (run in browser) ? | 19:52:12 |

| Code_Man | also you can just get scheme implementation for emacs and stay in your comfy editor all day | 19:56:20 |

lisp was designed with fp in mind
It was designed with “how do we write down arbitrary algorithms, conveniently so?” in mind, and it kept going like that since 1958. Most of the design decisions across decades that shaped Lisp have nothing ho do with FP, and modern distinctive FP features are barely supported (static type checking, extensive proofs, monads) or are not supported at all (dependent types).
Statements like this only exemplify that “Lisp as umbrella term” does not do anyone any good. There's always an opportunity to argue what Lisp is and whan Lisp is not, and it never turns into anything useful.

Yes, Common Lisp is a great imperative language. Multiparadigm, but mostly imperative. But “similar to C” is not doing it justice. | 01:13:52 |

But Lisp isn't functional... Yes but FP design patterns are powerful with what lisp has to offer. Combinatory logic in particular can help you a lot, especially with organizing your code and thinking about how you orient the "logic".
I don't think its limiting or "weak" to think about input -> output in general even if you consider Lisp to be imperative. | 14:05:52 |

 blanc | >influenced by lisp
>is a lisp
what did wikikids mean by this | 17:31:56 |
 zrn | probably lisp as a family of languages and lisp as a specific language, i m sure if u follow links you will find answer | 19:56:20 |

How am I supposed to do that? Are you asking how you can mutate? | 12:37:33 |
