I don't think it's necessarily readability holding me back from Haskell, but I do find Clojure to be highly readable which really helped me get up to speed with it quickly. I'm curious what you find more readable about Haskell.
- nightski 8y agoHaskell has a higher learning curve. It takes effort to pick it up. There is no learn Haskell in 5 minutes. But it's syntax is incredibly consistent and beautiful once learned. Clojure has an incredibly simple syntax, but that isn't so much because it removed the complexity but rather that it just moved it away from the syntax imho.
