Pretentious bullshit like "Clojure is in some way related to functional programming" is a pedagogical scourge.

@dibblego can you give context?

@curious_reader The context is the continued idea that Clojure is somehow related to FP, even so ridiculous to be proposed for teaching!

@dibblego @curious_reader interested to learn rationale, and if there are parallels to Common Lisp and Scheme (or just Clojure specific?)

@claudionatoli @curious_reader Yes it's a tricky one. Lisp and Scheme have the redemption of not knowing any better at the time.

@dibblego @claudionatoli @curious_reader So clojure must be neither functional nor a lisp, thank you I learned something today.

@arrdem @claudionatoli @curious_reader Yeah exactly. Makes total sense.

@dibblego @arrdem @claudionatoli I'm so mean :D
