Others might be interested in Henry Baker's Lively Linear Lisp [0] HN Discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14248419 [1] http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/LinearLisp.html

Loved that article, made me realize a lot of things about ... lots of things.

That bibliography is amazing. The best papers also have great bibliographies where I can dive in and learn mind altering ideas. Boring papers have boring bibliographies that just echo a list of the big papers in a field.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You are right that a lot of Lisps consider themselves more procedural than functional and I was extrapolating Clojure there. (In my defense, the Scheme community is also very functional and immutable oriented)

errr.... no. every scheme i've touched / seen is perfectly happy to mutate your variables. what one doesn't?

"Scheme community" probably meant "Racket", but I don't know much about schemers these days to know for sure.
