I also followed a pure maths education. I like lisp (in the CL/emacs lisp family more than scheme which tends to have smaller composable functions) and Haskell. I find some parts of Haskell culture/styles to be quite silly however, and fewer parts of the lisp community to be silly. But that may just be because of Haskell’s greater popularity.
- LesZedCB 6y agois haskell more popular now? what about clojure?
- eru 6y agoPerhaps greater memetic popularity?
- nickbauman 6y agoI find that the complex syntax of Haskell is something I'll never be able to remember. There's so much implied in the syntax. Lisp is so much more readable and thinkable-inable because there's almost no syntax. No other language is as easy to think in. But I've never studied math beyond pre-calc.
