It used to be thought that you could judge someone’s character by looking at | |
the shape of his head. Whether or not this is true of people, it is generally true | |
of Lisp programs. Functional programs have a different shape from imperative | |
ones. The structure in a functional program comes entirely from the composition | |
of arguments within expressions, and since arguments are indented, functional | |
code will show more variation in indentation. Functional code looks fluid on the | |
page; imperative code looks solid and blockish, like Basic. |
