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

>>1

its not an operator, its the function

how is (add 10 20) any different from add(10,20} or 10.add(20) ?

fuck you niggar

using 'with' you can simulate pattern matching which fulfills the most common use of macros.

metaprogramming is not really needed in functional programming. most clojure users don't use it very much, and haskel people eschew it completely.

method chains, the poor-man's monad, and events, a poor-mans actors, are more than sufficient for all but the most algorithmically complex code.
