structured lang?

[Richard Bos]

but at the moment they are still academic science studies. i know of no real
application which uses such technology.

Erlang seems to be used extensively in certain mobile phone
applications, and is, TTBOMK, functional. It is, however, an exception.

Well okay, if you say so. Just don't tell the Lisp users...

Lisp isn't a [pure] functional language. Neither, if I remember
correctly, is Erlang [mentioned elsethread]. Lisp has mutable
data structures and non-trivial assignments and state-changing
reads and writes. It is a wonder, but it is not a *pure functional*
wonder, unlike eg Hope, Haskel, KRC, etc.

[And Standard ML isn't either.]
