I'm programming since a couple of year I have done almost every style of programming

This year I have heard about reactive programming and when trying to understand that I was inside functionnal programming, and I like to understand things using the hard way, so I have decided get my head inside haskell.

What I have seen is, this language is at first difficult to get into when you come from OOP or Procedural programming

But after learning core idioms you understand that it is perfect for concurrent and parallel programming due to its relationship with mathematics and some properties that can help us make assumptions about the result of concurrent and parallel programming

As Concurrent and parallel programming will be the next step for programmer with all datas we have to handle, do you think that this language or this type of language will be the future ?

what's all this noise about haskell recently how is it better than languages that are both functional, procedural and object oriented at thesame time like python and c++?

I do not say that it is better than other languages, but in terms of concurrent and parallel programming I think with monad, applicative it much easy with haskell.

Also to handle an infinite list it is more easy with Haskell, I do not really understand python deeply but I think Haskell is better.

According infinite list and concurrent and parallel programming today with big data it is almost clear that functionnal programming will be more and more important in the future.

Hmm.

Python (my primary language) implements certain functional concepts but it is not a purely functional language.
It still primarily imperative.
