Are there any purely functional Schemes or Lisps?

Question

I\'ve played around with a few functional programming languages and really enjoy the s-expr syntax used by Lisps (Scheme in particular).

I also see the advantages of

If you like lisp's syntax then you can actually do similar things in Haskell

let fibs = ((++) [1, 1] (zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)))

The let fibs = aside. You can always use s-expr syntax in Haskell expressions. This is because you can always add parentheses on the outside and it won't matter. This is the same code without redundant parentheses:

let fibs = (++) [1, 1] (zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs))

And here it is in "typical" Haskell style:

let fibs = [1, 1] ++ zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)
