Lamber is a minimalist functional programming language with a focus on graspability, readability… and compilation to pure untyped Lambda Calculus, of course! It’s inspired by Lua, Haskell, and Wisp. And it smells of creamy cheese!
Why Racket? Why Lisp? | Butterick’s Practical Typography
「 What I found was plenty of Lisp flattery from expert Lisp programmers. (Also plenty of Lisp kvetchery from its detractors.) What I didn’t find were simple, persuasive arguments in its favor. So here’s why Racket was the right tool for this project, and what I see as the practical virtues of Lisps in general 」
The language is great. Most things it has going for it exist in many languages in the FP world that are static typed. Like #scala, there's almost no feature described that we don't have and with the fallback of everything that already exists in #jvm world... But they must be doing something incredibly right for so many ppl moving to it.

In this week’s episode of the “Hidden Monads in R” series, I’ll explore the vector aspect of R data structures, and see how the flatmap operation can be quite useful (duh).

@serge Is Scratch not essentially based on #Smalltalk? Not knocking it, Smalltalk is also an excellent language, but #FunctionalProgramming is a different, and in my opinion more fundamental, paradigm than #OOP, and one which I believe it benefits children to be introduced to first.

New in PHP 8.5: The Pipe Operator
One of the most exciting additions in PHP 8.5 is the pipe operator. It enables more readable and expressive code when working with nested function calls.https://chrastecky.dev/programming/new-in-php-8-5-the-pipe-operator

I also got experience with the following (5 = a lot, 1 = a little) :
#machinelearning #ml (3) (I have implemented some ML models myself in the past, for learning purposes.)
#guix (3) (Using it for reproducible setups of projects.)
#functionalprogramming #fp (5) (Doing it in my own projects.)
#objectorientedprogramming #oop (4) (last job and past xp in my own projects.)
#CI / #CD (3) (Last job)
#make (4) (using it for my own project setups and convenience)
#testing (4) (last job, own projects)
Found this in Barendregt's definition of combinatory logic
Gleam is an interesting new functional programming language. It is an ML-family language with syntax very similar to Rust, but it's not a replacement.
If you like Rust and don't like Go (or Elixir's Ruby syntax), Gleam might be worth considering for I/O bound applications needing high concurrency.
Gleam can also replace Elm on the browser. Code written in Gleam is apparently 30% faster than hand-written JavaScript.
