title: What are some pros/cons to various functional languages?
body: <p>I know of several functional languages - F#, Lisp and its dialects, R, and more. However, as I've never used any of them (although the three I mentioned are on my "to-learn" list), I was wondering about the pros/cons of the various functional languages out there. Are there significant pros/cons, both in learning the language and in any real-world applications of said language?</p>
