First functional language

Haskell sounds like a waste of time
Ocaml/Erlang both have shitty syntax
Clojure/Scala are JVM cancer

So... Scheme?

Haskell is Scheme with less lines and more features.  Why would you write:
(define (f x) (+ (* x x) 1))
when you could as well:
f x = x*x + 1

It's like doing lambda calculus versus algebra, sure lambda calculus is cool, but I'd rather write ``3" than ``λf.λx.f(f(f(x)))"
