Once you become used to reading it, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But Haskell has a steep learning curve if you have never used functional programming languages before so it may take a while to pick up a few things.
- non-entity 7y agoWhat are some of the better ones to start with? I've tried Erlang and F#, but the hardest part is figuring out whether I'm writing code that's too procedural.
- BoiledCabbage 7y agoIf you're looking for statically typed FP, honestly, start with Elm. You can do it in a weekend it's so conceptually contained. Then F# and OCaml are highly regarded. Avoid Haskell - worst bang for your buck on seeing returns on learning. It has some interesting concepts, but is a terrible language for learning statically typed functional programming. If you're looking for dynamically typed FP (ex. LISP), go with Clojure, or lesser rec possibly Racket flavor of Scheme.
