I want to learn functional programming

What should I start with? Haskell looks weird, lisp has so many parentheses I want to ((((()))()())))((()))(((())))))))(())))()()
and erlang appears to be useless and weird.

With that said, I am willing to learn them since I know FUCK ALL about them.

go ahead, hax my anus...

I am working through HTDP and posting shit on 4-ch.net/code.

There is a poster on that board that reminds me of RMS in how pedantic they are. The person is a fucking clown, they recommend books they have not read and doesn't afraid of fucking anything.

I like scheme. It is fun times. Thanks my friends.
