I love the things I learned from Haskell, but I find it so painful to actually use :( Similar case with Erlang...

I wonder if there are any functional languages that aren’t weird? Like they call the first element in a list / the other elements “list[0]” and “list[1..]” instead of “car” and “cdr”? Bonus points for a C-inspired syntax rather than an abstract-mathematics-inspired syntax

For now I just write Rust and Python using functional-style design (const inputs, no side effects, etc), but I feel like I’m missing out...
