As a former lisper I cant but help feel that haskell and scala are the modern lisps. In 10 years all industrial languages will be undeniably influenced by these pioneers but the languages itself wont be the next big thing.
- ssmoot 13y agoMaybe. But it feels like Functional programming at least is a thing now. I can't see the next decade's language remaining an imperative bog... I cringed at seeing the following Ruby today: "error#{'s' if errors.size > 1}" :-)

- lord_quas 13y agoJust wondering, how do you feel about clojure?
- dman 13y agoSadly it came up after I had already shifted to Python so I lack the experience to talk credibly about Clojure.
- Dewie 13y agoHaskell seems more united than the lisps, though. There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'dialects'/direct descendants, with the possible exception of languages that try to achieve specific things (Agda, Elm...).
