Haskell. If programming languages were mountains, Haskell is Everest. Conquer it and other languages can be mastered in your sleep. Go further.

  I never did alpinism, I guess Everest would be a good place to start with...

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountaineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountaineering "Mountaineering is often called Alpinism, especially in European languages"

        "Alpinism" sounds like a disease.

  I'm not sure the mountain allegory is fitting here. Haskell is not that hard to get into: there are hard parts but they are totally optional and avoidable. Also for newcomer who want to get in fp but find Haskell intimidating, you can try Elm, it's tailored to cater to beginners.
