    I dunno, my first functional programming language really through me through a loop. I am starting my first Rust project and so far it doesn’t look to be that horrible.

      Functional programming is very different in how you get stuff done.

      I would recommend learning Elm first for functional programming before trying anything hairier like Haskell etc.

      Elm is a small and lovely language for writing web pages/sites/user interfaces, and has a blisteringly fast compiler that is also the most genuinely helpful of all the compilers I’ve ever used.

      It’s a blissfully stable antidote to JavaScript’s exhausting “that whole approach is so last month” churn.
