Sure maybe it's not good for FP if you're Edward Kmett.

Literally the only other mainstream language that he would be able to say is capable of "fp" better than Scala would be Haskell.
- tel 12y agoOCaml, if that passes your "mainstream" test.
- whateveracct 12y agoSince OCaml doesn't have first-class higher-kinded types in the way Scala and Haskell do, I didn't think it would be acceptable by ekmett standards.
