Hi Edgar, If your friend is get-things-done kind of guy, in the beginning I think a language's Googleability is as important as the language itself. Second, is the language's ecosystem of development tools and libraries. I would pick a well supported language with functional features like Python or getting anything done will be frustrating. Haskell is awesome as a second language because it has a lot of features that don't make any sense (monads, for example) until you've done without them. -deech On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 7:13 PM, edgar klerks <edgar.klerks@gmail.com> wrote:
Yeah, he is introducing me into his world. It is more interesting than I thought. We are applying for a license from the AFM (Financial Market Authority), which is pretty stringent in the Netherlands. So I am helping him with a business case.

If you'd ask me only I'd eventually say that you should know both worlds today .. At least a little bit. It always depends on the use case.
