Its a great article, unfortunately it barely mentions Lisp's function composition capabilities and thats a bit unfortunate because it makes I guess a nice case for differences in API design in Haskells standard library and Common Lisp's. Lisp did in fact pioneer the introduction of higher-order functions and function composition into programming language and its fairly remarkable that lisps are still around and highly versatile / usable. What's being shown are Collection Pipelines(https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/collection-pipeline/ https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/collection-pipeline/) which can be implemented in lisp and in fact are. Clojure and Scheme for sure have these procedures and I am sure they are available for common lisp as well. Whether one prefers Haskell or Lisp is probably in parts a subjective decision (and also has to do with socialisation). I think I am falling onto the lisp side of things because of the explorative nature of programming and I had my heureka moment of programming with Test-Driven Development and for some reason I am gravitating to that in my programming and its easier to do TDD without a type-checker actually. For anyone who is curious about exploring Lisps, I suggest having a look at Clojure or Common Lisp (potentially Dylan if you don't want to bother with parentheses) and not Scheme (because it doesn't have polymorphism and is heavily fragmented).
