I've had the opposite experience. My preferred programming style is functional. My current gig has been in Clojure, and I couldn't ask for a better product programming language. I find Python code very difficult to write in a functional way (even the official howto is littered with for loops [1]), but in R I can feel an underlying lispiness, and the pipe operator `%>%` from magittr is really nice: whereas in Clojure there is `->`, `->>` and `as->` for thread-first, thread-last, and named threading respectively, in R with `%>%` I get thread-first as the default and I can override it by placing `.` wherever I want in the downstream function calls.
