Ive dabbled in Haskell and F# myself; I found Haskell to be the amazing mind awakening experience people talk about, but it also frustrates the hell out of my sometimes. All the syntax around types confuses my simple brain.
F# on the other hand felt a lot like a functional python for .Net. Complete with the syntactic whitespace and a light weight class syntax that feels very similar to pythons classes (completely with explicit self).
Both worth exploring IMO. I've not look at yeti, so i'm going to check that out, thanks!
- dkersten 17y agoThanks for the info! Yeti is a small and simple ML-derived language for the JVM. I found it refreshingly simple (an afternoon with the tutorial and I felt comfortable with it, though I have yet to write anything "real" in it) and the "community" is quick to respond to queries (community is in quotes because theres only about five of us on the mailing list...). I plan on using Yeti as the "formula" language in a spreadsheet type program :-)
