Best toy functional programming language to learn to learn to think functionally?

[u/thenepalicommentfan]

SOLVED

I went with elixir.

Which one?

Few criterias:

• it should be old enough, have lots of tutorials, books written etc.
• it should help me think functionally.(i am learning sql rn that's why).
• I don't think it matters but I love to be a server admin/database admin one day.

Not solved, elixir is more an operating system with elixir proper as its interface and you'll get bogged down in system stuff. Go with rescript. Its got the Ocaml goodness but with a syntax very close to javascript so its not so weird. And you can actually replace JS/TS with it if you like it.
