Hm.. should I stop learning Clojure right this instant? I can't take the "you GOT to learn Erlang/Haskell/Scala/Node/[...] right NOW!" any longer.

- Locke1689 14y agoNo. Clojure is fine. I actually think that everyone's first functional language should be scheme, but Clojure is not too different. Erlang, Haskell, and Scala all want to sell you on some broader paradigm of functional programming, but they're all still functional at their core and understanding the fundamentals is far more important. Node.js isn't a language, it's just some libraries added on to Javascript.
- Ixiaus 14y agoI highly support the idea of learning Scheme first too - particularly with the Little Schemer books!
