I found this to be a confusing statement until I realized you were talking about Clojure. Common Lisp condones mutation, and a borrowing model could be helpful for optimizing memory allocations.
- arximboldi 9y agoYou are right that a lot of Lisps consider themselves more procedural than functional and I was extrapolating Clojure there. (In my defense, the Scheme community is also very functional and immutable oriented)
