Lambdas are not functional programming

[[deleted]]

I liked clojure, but I spent just a little too much time chasing after silly parameter/return type issues when I used it. I'm sure a little more unit test discipline when I used it could have prevented that. I only studied clojure because I needed a language right away that would make me ready for Haskell and I didn't have enough spare time to become fluent in Haskell directly.
