Yeah - pure functions and immutable data aren’t always the right answer, but appreciating that they’re damn good most of the time is a good first step.

And metaprogramming and tail call optimization and and…. At least other languages are starting to catch up with this 60 year old language, by for instance implementing lambda expressions.
