I don't think it's actually Lisp. Lisp is essentially an imperative language; you use functional concepts, but you're telling the computer what concrete thing to do at each step. This is just asking it to resolve types in a type system, using whatever algorithm it likes to satisfy the type constraints.

Note, in particular, the complete lack of algorithm to solve the actual n-queens problem: just the constraints.

Fair enough, I pretty much nope'd out after the "Haskell is a dynamically-typed, interpreted language" bit, scrolled to the end, and saw some LISP-y output.
