functional programming

ok so after graduation i have some free time, and i think i should learn something new. because i have no experience in functional programming i thought i should try it

 my background is mainly python which is what i use the most

so i researched clojure (random example), and already i hate this illogical language. i mean what the fuck is the justification for putting the operator before the variables?

oh and there like 0 resources for this shit

Yes, but I think that car and cdr could be named differently, e.g. head and tail. Only the shortcuts like caadar actually make some sense, but are difficult to read anyway.
