> Clojure is functional because of it's use of concepts like "functions are first order objects", closure, higher order functions, etc. I would never consider Clojure imperative. I would agree with that. Putting Clojure in the imperative camp seems a little skewed. From the front page of clojure.org "Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures." But I don't think that's his point as seancorfield pointed out.
