Personally, I see Elm as an interesting development in such a direction, i.e. humane FP language, with the author relentlessly striving for simplicity and ease

  >Personally, I see Elm as an interesting development in such a direction, i.e. humane FP language, with the author relentlessly striving for simplicity Red is another language that is or was striving for simplicity (or resisting the complexity that seems to be the norm in tech nowadays). In fact that was supposed to be one of its main goals. I felt sad when they went down the ICO route for funding, though. Not sure how FP-ish Red is, though. Rebol, which Red is based on, is supposed to be homoiconic. I like Rebol and Red. The size of the Rebol and Red interpeters (and Red is a compiler too) and the size of the Red EXEs are quite small, which is another plus. Much smaller than some other languages.

    >or resisting the complexity I should say, sometimes seemingly unnecessary complexity.
