Functional language which one to choose.

Question

Hello I am currently learning python has a hobby.
So far happy, I am progressing even if it became obvious that mastery of the language is out of my reach.
I am using Python to solve coding problem and have a lot of fun doing so.

I am currently learning more in depth about zip, map, lambda.

On lambda I learn about functional language and how they differ from object oriented langages.

As I am starting to have some good base with Python, I was thinking it was a good time to start learning a new language.

My interest is only as a hobby, so I do not care about marketability :-) .

Functional seems a good way to diversify, but what language to choose ? I only know of Haskell.

I am looking for :
- easy to use (not something too technical or requiring special environment )
- resources
- community

Any input appreciated.

Answer 1

According to me go for java script
as javascript is a versatile language by which you can learn both the front end as well as the backend development...
Secondly, If you are learning python you may go through deep through it like you can go for ML or Web development by learning different frameworks like Flask, Django, etc.
OK that's from my side... Go for the one in which you can learn with interest...

Answer 2

Python and Javascript have a functional elements :-). But I wanted to go for a purely functional language.

Yes I did a course and using python for analyzing data, interacting with website, ect. There is a lof of potential there but as mentioned my interest is purely a hobby. I like to solve problem like " we will give you two arrays with such and such characteristic and the output must be of this format " .

Answer 3

Well I will go with Haskell :-) .
Functional seems a lot of fun.
