No. Almost every functional language forces you to follow these "calisthenics." These look more like guidelines to follow if you want to execute the functional style in an imperative language.

I would say that only Haskell (and derivatives) force you to follow most of these rules. Neither Clojure, nor F#, nor Elixir force you into most.
