Are functional programming languages more applicable to AI?
I remember reading that LISP tends to be used for AI programming. Is this due to properties of LISP, or is there something inherent to functional programming languages that makes them applicable to AI programming?
I ask because I'm writing a game engine in C#/IronPython and was thinking if AI could be written in F#.

Lisp was more or less designed for use with AI. John McCarthy was even the one to coin the term "Artificial Intelligence"
I'm pretty sure the connection between functional programming languages their uses with AI research has something to do with their inspiration from lambda calculus. I good be really wrong though.
