Exactly, I have been searching for my functional language and have always felt that neither Haskell nor Clojure quite cut it, so I've been putting it off. The former because, well, it's not Lisp and I'd really like to learn myself a Lisp. The latter because of how the Java relationship overall ruins it for me, especially as it takes a lot of functional purity out of it. You always have to be aware not only of your coding style but that of the number of third party code you'll read both to learn from and to use. Also, not static and I have myself enough dynamic languages. I considered Roy and may yet begin using it in some places I currently use CoffeeScript, but then again it's not Lisp. BODOL could indeed be the perfect piece I've been missing.
