As a Rust guy, I disagree. For one, Rust does not have lazy evaluation, just like C which is why I raised the point C is incompatible with FPP. Lazy evaluation in C (and Rust) can be emulated by function pointers (and closures), but it is not easy to use

Does one need lazy evaluation to be FP?

Scheme isn't lazy to my knowledge.

I'm sure it would make a compiler's optimization job easier.
