Back in the 90s I remember taking a course that used Simple ML. I was pretty amazed by it's elegant syntax, and If I remember it correctly, it was either based on, or related to Miranda. I haven't really used a functional language since university. But would love to try one again.
Whats worth checking out? I know nothing. Anything I can use to make a website or an interesting project within a week of learning.
- pintxo 7y agoJavaScript has some FP parts, and is kind of the goto language for websites. But is not strictly functional.
- erk__ 7y agoIf you want something functional that compiles to JavaScript you can for f# use Fabel [0] and there is a ocaml-like language called reasonML [1] that also does it. [0]: https://fable.io/ https://fable.io/ [1]: https://reasonml.github.io/ https://reasonml.github.io/
- beagle3 7y agoReason{ML,} is just a new syntax for OCaml, still perfectly round trip translatable I believe (though that's something I expect to diverge over the years). You can use js_of_ocaml or BuckleScript to translate either OCaml or ReasonML written code to JavaScript.
- Multicomp 7y agoF# is an ml inspired language running on the .net clr. Use the SAFE template if you are interested in doing web development with this language.
- kristianp 7y agoThis? What does safe stand for? https://safe-stack.github.io https://safe-stack.github.io
- jungletime 7y agoIs this possible to use on a Mac
- jolux 7y agoDefinitely, using .NET Core.
- rpeden 7y agoYou might like Elm if you're looking to do a fun web project and you enjoy MLish syntax.
- jungletime 7y agoJust reading about it ... thanks
