Sounds like you've not tried a functional language yet in your life :p
- stcredzero 13y agoLots of functional languages are just as warty as Objective-C, said the Smalltalker of over 10 years who also does Objective-C and is currently using Clojure.
- nsmartt 13y agoBe careful with this kind of thing. You're inadvertently making the FP community look bad. A more constructive and less pushy approach would have been to recommend an enjoyable FP language and explain why you think it suits the parent.

- coldcode 13y agoDoes APL count?
- jaegerpicker 13y agoI personally prefer Obj-C over almost all the fp languages I've tried. Clojure and Scala being the two big ones but I've also spent a little time with haskel and erlang. I don't hate them but feel like I'm being handicapped instead of helped. Scala was my favorite since I could do either oo or fp. They are all just tools and I shouldn't be limited.
