- chrisseaton 6y ago> Is this the first time to lisp related but non-functional language This is a common misconception. People conflate Lisp and purely functional programming as if Lisps are and were always purely functional, but this isn't historically accurate. Many early Lisps were deeply imperative - to an extreme that would seem crazy to use today - including even dynamic scoping!
