Haskell syntax is terse but not simple. Not good for teaching Functional Programming PRINCIPLES. See: https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch10.html https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch10... . How about using Lisp to teach functional programming? Lisp syntax is small, simple. You don't need to teach so much Lisp as teach with Lisp.
