not at all. lisp and haskell are entirely different worlds. don't be fooled by the claim that lisp and haskell are both functional languages. haskell is functional to a fault, but lisp is anything you want it to be. it depends on which lisp you choose. i believe that clojure is more on the functional side, scheme somewhere in the middle, but common lisp (the language i am familiar with), is barely more functional than python. functional programming is not using functions as the main method for code organization.
