It's time. Functional is the future, VMs and garbage collectors are the future. There is no excuse for using C or C++. There is no excuse for allowing illegal states to happen.
The ONLY way we get secure software is by perfecting functional or managed compilation and abandoning insecure memory models. And it MUST be free as in freedom.
Shit logo would not use

Logo looks like gey penis penetrating gey ass with flacid penis on the other side.

There are no illegal states, all states are equally valid and coexistent, quantum computing is the real future.
What will you write your operating systems in? What will you write performance critical code in? How will you manage programming on systems where memory is limited?
>>59307927
That's exactly the thing. Closure is more than fast enough for the vast majority of web services, save for companies the scale of Facebook or Twitter. Haskell or Scheme or Common Lisp are more than fast enough for local compiled applications, like package managers or other tools, even GUI programs.
For edge cases like embedded systems, C may still be necessary, but when languages like Nim exist that compile to C, or languages like D with better alligators and cleaner syntax, continuing to use C and C++ for literally everything is looking like more and more of a mistake.

Clojure
Allocators
You get it, fuck autocorrect
Functional maybe, but garbage collection is retarted.
>>59307927
In an appropriate domain-specific language, and the best languages for writing DSL compilers are functional.
>>59307284
Pattern matching is sooo good mm baby
Also the future is multi-paradigm languages like scala
Erlang is pretty cool.
>>59307606
this is the most cool logo any programming language ever had. also a fucking name. can any name be betterer and danker than name "haskell"? well, i don't think so
>>59308483
Racket sounds cooler.
>>59308095
I am learning erlang and its cool but otp is pain in the ass. And writing a large application pretty much means one has to use otp.
>posts a language that compiles to native code
Okay.
>>59308643
>Compiles safe code
The goal is to avoid pajeets writing every application with critical bugs all over the fucking place. The compiler is the critical point in the case of Haskell; in C, the critical point is EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE WRITTEN

>>59307986
Fuck. Now I want a language with alligators
>>59308916
Fuck alligators.
