note hding <p>It's dangerous to make such lists, though. For example, nowadays Lisp (in the form of Common Lisp, at least), is probably used more to program in imperative and OO styles than functional. It just happens that you can reasonably do functional programming in it, and has somehow become pigeonholed as a functional language in some circles (when in fact there are probably better languages to use to really get into functional programming).</p> Of course, just about any language is subject to such stereotypes; just look at how many people regard Perl. :-)</p> 131789 131956
