It doesn't matter which functional language you use, any will do its educational purpose. But as for other languages, there is pros and cons for each of them.

But as for other languages, there is pros and cons for each of them. I never tried F#, only Haskell and OCaml.
- qwerty456127 3y agoSure. I'm just curious what do people who are into functional programming actually think. I've taken a look at F# and other MLs and F# seemed the best althoigh not this simply - another ML (I can't easily recall which one) had some interesting features F# lacked. So I hunt for curious thoughts people may have on this when they MLs are discussed. I personally have little interest in academic computer science but do have strong interest in using cool programming languages to write concise reliable code. Functional languages really shine at saving a solo developer's time as most of the bugs are caught during compile time, verbosity generally is lower and readability generally is higher.
