I use Clojure, generally like functional programming, and am fine using recursion. > Haskell has such a clean looking syntax. I have gotten fond of Clojure's Lisp-like syntax. > Oh, I think you're trying to say the threshold of being good with haskell is much higher? Cause I see that argument quite and bit. Not sure -- haven't spent any time with Haskell. Never tried Erlang either. Do you think it generally takes longer to become productive with Haskell than with other functional programming languages?
