I’ve been working with pure functional languages and custom lisp dialects professionally my whole tenure. You get a whole bag of problems for a very subjective upside. Teams fragment into those that know how to work with these fringe tools and those who don’t. The projects using them that I worked on all had trouble with getting/retaining people. They also all had performance issues and had bugs like all other software. You’re not missing out on anything.
