The only people who say that are mentioned in Forbes.

But, Haskell..., it's so well thought out, so evolved, the best of all functional programming in one, the ability to handle infinite lists, the lazy evaluation, the strict type checking, the compiler that catches whole classes of bugs, the curt syntax, the ability to breathe it like pure thought, the clarity like maths...

Okay, sorry, I better leave the room too.

Sorry, Clojure is newer and fancier.

Better if you need the ability to unintentionally shoot yourself in the foot.

That's why we use JavaScript on the front end, JavaScript on the back end, and you can streamline it even more by using JavaScript for the db layer too. After all, if you have too much data to be reasonably parsed in a single .json file, you are probably just architecting wrong.

Every time you get over 200k lines of JSON you gotta split it into another app, so you can webscale.

Ngl changing paradigms can have the problems do a 180.

I hate leetcode but it's surprisingly fun to code certain questions in prolog when final outcome with error checking is like 15 lines.

It's amazing how much the NSA's github page is comprised of Python.

Makes sense that they specialize in python, so many good math/crypto libraries.

i'm not too far from an nsa building (never really looked into what they do there) but i can throw some thigh highs over the fence for y'all if it helps

The language is as important as architecture and stuff.

Pick the right language for the right task.

Performance? Don't use python.

Everything else? Use python because everyone does.
