:If you consider "Lisp" as a Platonic ideal, you can make it have whatever properties you like. But real Lisp allows side effects and Lisp programmers routinely make use of them. Therefore the mathematical functions in a typical Lisp program do not line up with the language's functions. [[User:Gazpacho|Gazpacho]] 05:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

:I think the previous poster meant to say [[Lambda Calculus]], not pure lisp, which I am not aware of actually existing. However, if we limit discussion on this page to languages that are ''only'' declarative, then we are looking at a very small set, indeed (lambda calculus,...). More interesting, I think, are the languages which are ''practically'' declarative (which includes the lisp variants, etc.).
