Hello guys, i want to introduce myself in the functional programming and i want to know for some book about recursive functions and functional programming and what is the best functional laguange to start. Maybe Haskell or Scala? or another kind of languages like python or javascript are good to start with that paradigm?
This is a two years ago question but I'm going to answer it anyway. I would love to suggest Haskell to you. If you want to learn functional programming, better to use pure functional programming from the beginning instead of using another language like JavaScript or Python. Why Haskell? Well, Haskell is like C language in the functional world. Before read any books, please see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1112773/what-are-the-core-concepts-in-functional-programming as the starter pack then read some articles or books about functional programming in general.
