I love HN. In response to a complaint about learning new frameworks, you suggest three other alternatives.

  All but one are profoundly old, yet making a come back.

    Haskell is from the 80s. Erlang is also pretty old, and Clojure is a Lisp, the second oldest programming language around. Which is the `but one'?
    • CmonDev 12y ago
      If you put it this way, Clojure is old too I guess.
      • eru 12y ago
        Though to be honest, Lisp has come a long way since the 50s.

  They are all languages (not frameworks), which are valid analogies to the guitar metaphor. They are so different from your usual C-like languages that they will be challenging to learn (and likely fun also)

  I think the difference is not just that these are languages rather than frameworks, but also that each of these teach you different skills and approaches by their nature (that aren't 'new', so clearly have a stood the test of time).
