hey i wanna learn a functional language. what should i pick!
@loam elm is a pretty nice start! http://elm-lang.org/
@mala seems neat! it transpiles to optimized HTML and JS then?
@loam JS and the JS makes the HTML for now.
@mala hmm ok. its mainly focused on webapps then ? or is it useful for other general-purpose things? also, does it like to play with web frameworks like angular etc? or is it itself a web framework? i'm having trouble grasping exactly what it is
@loam web apps! Play around with it. I found it a great way to finally grok functional programming after years of struggling with Haskell.
