I have not found anything really obvious (i.e. DFD+Lisp
or DFD+FP) in a quick google search. You can start with
the wikipedia page on Data Flow Diagramas to see if they
may fit what you had in mind. DFDs allow to model a system
as a set of "processes", which transform data, "entities", external
to the system, and "data stores" wich hold your data, all of them
linked with "data flows". In structured analysis DFDs are used to
model the functional requirements of a system. There are many
tools you can use to draw them (I use Microsoft Visio, but I am
sure there are many free alternatives).

And Data Flow Diagrams?
I learnt about them while studying structured analysis
and design at University, but I always thought they did
not match very well with imperative programming...

imagine how a big project can be visualised with that (???). I think no manager in the

functional programming. But I am asking myself, what if the project get bigger, like the

this is very important when it comes to documentation.I think a flowchart might be useful.
In functional programming there is a tendency to model things as a pipeline of
transformations, instead of as interactions between code modules (classes), so visualizing
how your data flows from its source to its endpoint will be useful. On a larger scale you
might want to map out the relationships between namespaces, which procedures deal with
state, etc. Unfortunately I don't know any tools to generate call graphs and such from
clojure code, but hopefully my suggestions will at least inspire a few ideas.
