Excel, the most successful programming environment for non-programmers, is functional in nature, so I don't doubt that functional is the way to go. Elm's syntax leaves me a bit more skeptical, though.
- eric_bullington 12y agoThe Haskell-like syntax? Yeah, it's possible that this could be confusing for a beginner. What in particular are you skeptical about?
- jowiar 12y agoPositional arguments are a big nono for me. When I read the code, there's too much overhead to knowing what things do. One of the nice things about HyperTalk is that it's a bit self describing. One of these three is entirely non-obvious image 472 315 "/stack.jpg" Insert Image "/stack.jpg" with width 472 and height 415 image {width: 472, height: 315, filename: "/stack.jpg"}
- tome 12y agoHow about image Image { width = 472, height = 315, filename = "/stack.jpg" }
