- tomn 3y agoagain, you said > by learning Guile you learn a lisp which some people find quite enlightening so learning a lisp is enlightening, but learning a FP language is not
- medo-bear 3y agoFP is a paradigm. lisp is a language. you can use lisp to learn FP if i wanted to learn pure FP i would probably pick many things over Nix
- tomn 3y ago> if i wanted to learn pure FP i would probably pick many things over Nix of course, but that wasn't the question: > What do you gain from learning Nix, asside from Nix?
- medo-bear 3y agobut if you wanted to learn lisp/scheme Guile is a very good choice whereas if you wanted to learn FP Nix is a pretty crappy choice
