Only on hacker news do people think there are objective opinions! The syntax is, let's say, "divisive" which is enough of a reason to think that if you want functional programming to grow, something needs to change about it.
- karmajunkie 10y agoyeah, I don't think that's true. Neither Clojure nor Haskell seem to have any problems finding adherents, nor does the functional paradigm itself seem to be in danger of... anything. Your personal distaste for parens isn't much evidence to support the idea that they are antithetical to the growth of functional programming, nor my own distaste for Haskell evidence of the same.
