Hardly -- they all want to share the elegance of lambda calculus, n'est-ce pas? Also, ML was originally implemented in Lisp, and IIRC correctly, at least in early versions, shared much of Lisp's syntax. Also, Scheme has a purely functional core (few people stick to it, of course), and there are purely functional dialects of Lisp. |>oug -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
