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.
