Lets compare D&D classes with popular programming languages.
(#1 most nerdy thread ever)

Fighter - C++
-Very versatile but more complex and not quite as effective in melee as a barbarian.

Barbarian - C
-Very simple, very powerful.

Ranger - Java
-Easy to play, very popular, vast collection of abilities that help solve problems quickly.

Wizard - Lisp/Scheme
-Most powerful caster, highest intelligence.

Sorcerer - Haskell
-Slightly less intelligent than a wizard, but makes up for it in charisma.

Rogue - Scripting Languages
-Executes behind your back.

Cleric - SQL
-Revives players when they crash.
 
Paladin - Python
-Easiest to play, but forces you to play a certain way.

lets see you do imperative programming that mimics python with lisp.
now i don't know either languages, but i have already seen python users prove that python can do functional programming, so to make a claim like that you need to at least prove lisp equivalent.
start with something simple like this:

int i;
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){
   puts("whatever");
}

no functionally equivalent code - it needs to be imperative; that means variable declarations, iteration, and no recursion.
