    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.
