Productivity gains are not the only reason to learn a new language though, seeing how common problems are solved idiomatically in other languages can make you a better programmer in the languages you are already familiar in. For example, the emphasis placed on pure functions and immutability that you get from learning a FP language can make you a better Java programmer. - Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
