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

@dibblego @bitemyapp I've read you two tweet a lot some variations of "no dynamic language is fp" care to explain? cc @psnively

@malk_zameth @bitemyapp @psnively It's humanly intractable for non-trivial adherence to FP thesis absent types. That's why you never see it.

@dibblego @bitemyapp @malk_zameth @psnively It's hard when most think of lisp as the parent language for all things functional

@rickasaurus @bitemyapp @malk_zameth @psnively Saying a language is (not) functional is like saying triangles do (not) boil above 7 metres.

@dibblego @bitemyapp @psnively @rickasaurus then the same can be said of any language even haskell/Idris/ml?

@malk_zameth @bitemyapp @psnively @rickasaurus Yes, I agree. Asking if a language is functional is useless.

@dibblego @bitemyapp @psnively @rickasaurus if no lang approach FP then why the messages explicitly saying that dyn languages aren't?
