The Common Lisp Condition System – Upcoming Book

Got it. While I do have some experience with programming, it is almost exclusively practical in non functional languages.

So, I'll read your book after working through both of the others.

Thanks. Hope that it turns out insightful for you.

(Also, Common Lisp isn't a functional language. It's a multiparadigm one that often gets the label of being a functional one because Scheme and Clojure are really functionally oriented.)

CL is like Python. You can write functional code, but that's not generally the norm.

Sorry, if it came across like I believe lisp is purely functional. I meant to say that I never had any experience in functional programming, and so want to use lisp to learn it.

Sure, that's doable. CL, being multi-paradigm, supports functional programming idioms.
