setf is pretty imperative!

one hard part I had to get over to start understanding what lisp actually is... it's an imperative language. c.f. scheme or clojure.

I think Common Lisp is nicely cosmopolitan. It has great support for whichever paradigm you want to program in, and/or you can build your own.

Like the Burger King of programming languages.

Yes ... yes it is.
