What is the best functional programming language?

What is the best functional programming language?

The one that doesn't treat you like an object.

C#

Hah, you stupid, that is not a functional language

...

Haskell

Does it matter? They've all got hipster faglord books now.

What about land of lisp? :(

What's up with functional programming languages? They're not languages and they're not functional!

You mean like any programming language?

haskell is literally and entirely a meme
there is something called "haskell" that strange computer scientist researchers use, but that is hardly a programming language

Holy.C

There's a common phrase, "the best camera is the one you have on you", which I think can be used for programming languages, for the most part

"What is the best functional programming language":
-If I want a job? Surely you cant be serious...from time to time I see job post for someone that knows lisp, scala and clojure...but thats about it

-to learn functional programming.
lisp and OCaml

-for the future
I would bet on scala

Now, relating to the "the best camera is the one you have"..."the best programming language is the one you have" as in the one you know. In all probability you're not gona become a legend in haskell/clojure or whatever meme you plan on learning, so just pick one which name you like, dont count on getting a job developing software in a functional language
