Lisp is not a functional programming language. ?

• somethingsimple 10y ago
  It's a multi-paradigm language. You can use it for functional programming, but it's not strictly a functional programming language.

    Yes. In fact, the point with symbols and code as data is that you can implement different paradigms in the language itself. A program implementing prolog, for instance, is an example program in books.
