>No functional language exp. Common Lisp, at least, isn't really a purely functional language. It supports multiple paradigms. Scheme and Clojure are a little more "functional" than CL, but they too are not pure. I wouldn't worry about this yet. >Are there not several versions of Scheme, too. Any suggestions for what to start with. I replied above. (-: >Is scheme/lisp/clojure the correct language to use for terminal/command-line apps or ncurses stuff ? I don't see why not. >Does anyone offhand know if there is ncurses support for these languages ? It looks like there is a package for Common Lisp for doing ncurses stuff. There's a thread on the PLT mailing list that indicates there's no support for ncurses in PLT Scheme, but other implementations might have it. A search in Clojure's libraries didn't reveal anything, but I may be looking in the wrong place (it seems like they would have one).
