Do we actually program, any of us, here? or is this just a troll board for people to get mad at each other "EAT SHIT AND DIE LISPFAG" without actually having ever used lisp or understood it...

Lisp isn't particularly functional or has any problems "maintaining state". It's really normal except for a quirky syntax and macros, all of its weird academic features were sucked up by mainstream languages long ago.
Why people still swoon over it is mostly because the contenders in the same category (python,ruby,perl) suck balls.
