      I dunno, my first functional programming language really through me through a loop. I am starting my first Rust project and so far it doesn’t look to be that horrible.

        Functional programming is very different in how you get stuff done.

        I would recommend learning Elm first for functional programming before trying anything hairier like Haskell etc.

        Elm is a small and lovely language for writing web pages/sites/user interfaces, and has a blisteringly fast compiler that is also the most genuinely helpful of all the compilers I’ve ever used.

        It’s a blissfully stable antidote to JavaScript’s exhausting “that whole approach is so last month” churn.

          Thanks for the suggestion! I will take a look once I make some more progress on my rust project. Time is tight these days, so I need to limit the quantity of things I attempt to do in parallel.
