functional languages i need to check out
went through the Wikipedia Category on functional languages the other week and I found a bunch of interesting languages I want to check out
Scala JVM-based, java with less syntax + functional aspects
F# Microsoft’s .NET functional language (only interesting to me if the Mono implementation is complete)
Clojure JVM-based, may be good for concurrent programming
Boo python-like .NET language with Mono support
also stumbled upon some projects to build operating systems with functional languages: Kinetic, House, Singularity (found a Squeak one too: SqueakNOS)
maybe someday we’ll be running operating systems without side effects :P
