Haskell, Ocaml, etc. There's nothing at all functional about Common Lisp, not even a little bit, far from it, if anything the opposite.

Which is nonsense.

Common Lisp and its implementations supports some parts of Functional Programming:

* First Class Functions

* Higher Order Functions

* Anonymous Functions

* Lexical Binding

* Closures

* TCO is supported by a variety of implementations
