> - Lack of support for OOP. And no, purely functional programming is not the best way to code all projects. ...and neither is OOP? For doing data things I greatly prefer functional programming for ease of understanding how the data flows and gets changed. > - Doesn't compile to native code (there are ways to do it, but too complicated and there are caveats). Neither does Python, neither does R. AOT compilation is being worked on, I expect it to get pretty great. C and FORTRAN do, sure, but most people are not writing C and FORTRAN in production. > - Module system doesn't seem to be design well. It’s maybe not perfect, but it’s honestly miles better than Python. > - You can't use a function before it's defined. This feels like an incredibly unfair and unreasonable complaint given not many languages that aren’t AOT compiled actually support this and Python and R certainly do not.
