My man just disguised an introduction to which functional programming languages there are as a ranking video, just because it gets the clicks... touché.

[ZombieJig]

I would chose F# due to the strength of the standard library, which is in my view as important as the language.

[arnvgh]

until you realize, the real tier list is hidden in the order of choosing them.

[ИльяЗуев-тт]

I actually like Idris 2 more than Haskell, so I would add it to S tier as well. Also, I'm not quite comfortable with putting a language that has been abandoned for 5 years (Elm) to S tier

[ukrustacean]

Cool. Absolutely loved the video ❤
Probably I need to spend some time this weekend checking out Unison and Gleam 🤔

[UrsEnzler]

Well played!

However, as an F# developer, I wish the base library had been built with FP concepts in mind rather than for C#.

[mctechcraft]

I feel like I’m starting to notice a pattern 🤔

[isaacvando]

Roc is great! It’s the performant pragmatic language with great tooling that I’ve been wanting. The combo of structural records, structural tag unions, and type inference is delightful. And I think some very interesting things will come from the platform design. Definitely worth checking out!

[Mglunafh]

Thank you for the comprehensive and thorough analysis of the available functional programming languages, i could wish i had a time to effectively learn them all 😭

[protosevn]

Least biased programming tier list video :D

[Jankoekepannekoek]

No variant of Lisp in the list? (pun intended)

[simpleprogrammingcodes]

I had to use Oz for studies. What is your opinion on Oz? Is it a functional language? If so, how good is it?

[Danielo]

Have you been spying on me recently while I was researching some new languages and just made a video about it?

[oserodal]

Why does no one ever talk about Idris? (I've never written a line of Idris code)

[lajtaib]

As far as I can see nobody misses Erlang in the commets so here I am 😢

[musicalintuition]

There is now MoonBit, which targets WASM and JS

[SirMo]

How is it biased, when they are treated equally? :P

[aghileslounis]

ELIXIR wasn't there because it's in an S++ tier.

[LilianaCodes]

Honestly i don't get functional programming hype, i'm no hater, i try to learn srust which implements some of the functional patterns, so i'd like someone to sell me on it

[nanonkay]

Damn near everything is S tier here lol
