Erlang's syntax is very similar to Haskell's, is it not?
- dev360 13y agoConceptually, theres a lot of stuff thats similar. I found Erlangs syntax to be a little unconventional so it depends on your background. If you just want to learn a FP language, I'd go with Haskell because you learn a pure FP language that teaches you all the concepts that you will encounter in half-breed languages :) .. people will love me for that comment.
