Is syntax holding back functional programming?

  I think this is missing the forest for the trees, as well informed as it seems to be. Other feature of “C-like languages” like traditional control flow (for loops, single branch if statements), impurity, mutability and so on (all features many ML dialects of FP languages usually have secretly or via extension) demand a sort of approach to programming that most programmers, who will have started with a “C-like” will have to work hard to develop the discipline to use

    Very fair point. Thank you for the feedback :)
