The language thay you are already using! You need to understand FP, not a new language. Definitely read "Grokking simplicity" by Eric Normand.

But if you want to learn a new language more suited for FP, I would hardly recommend either guile scheme, racket, or clojure (all are lisps and you can use and build real word things with them forever). Haskell is also great but it's much harder than lisps.

You can do oop or fp with lisps, there is basically no syntax, you can get started and actually focusing on doing FP in a month. (Som say you can learn the language itself in a week, which you can but if you are really dedicating time to it).

Good HTML is coherent by itself. Depends on if the html is good or not.

Oh that's just the delusion of freedom. USA is great at selling that. We will still fight but accepting the truth is always the sane approach compared to hopeful optimism .

Russia and china and easterns are more straight forward. "We don't want you to have privacy and control" Western countries wrap it around a populistic shiny wrapper. "This is the land of freedom, you are encouraged to have privacy and controll, unless you actually try to do so" they also let people play in the dirt unless they are doing something serious and pose some threat. But eastern governments are much less tolerant. You will be punished even for minor inconvenience.

People calling functional programming weird hurts me. It's just unfamiliar not weird.

I am having the time of my life with Clojure. Lisps in general. They really change how you view software. I was showing how clojure works to my Java coworker and showing her the REPL and powers of Clojure, and we both almost teared up :)) It's tgat good.

The whole world is going that direction. Russia, north korea and china are leading the way, wester countries are more sly and subtle in how to do things, but america and UK are going the same direction.

Damn this is one of the darkest images I've seen.

Zulip still has cuck licensing (permissive license). Same thing that happened to mattermost will happen to all permissively licensed projects.

Damn that's cool. But I'm imagining putting this mental model on top of vim and window manager and tmux will really fry my brain! More power to you

This looks super cool but what is the usecase? Isn't it too limited?

wow such a great post! I loved how simply and like he said, intuitively he explained this. This really highlights how goo S-expressions and lisp syntax is.
