[Haskell-cafe] David Turner quote on lisp and FP

[Rustom Mody]

There is this quote:

*It needs to be said very firmly that LISP is not a functional language at
all. My suspicion is that the success of Lisp set back the development of a
properly functional style of programming by at least ten years.*  David
Turner


found here and there on the net
eg http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1376090701

Does anyone have/know the original reference?

Thanks
Rusi
