I agree that learning ML style languages has benefits, when I discovered the concept of "Option" the ideas behind pattern matching and functional programming made a lot more sense, especially when it comes to writing systems software.
But for some reason your comment reminds me of James Mickens quote from "USENIX: The Night Watch" article[1] "You can’t just place a LISP book on top of an x86 chip and hope that the hardware learns about lambda calculus by osmosis" [1]: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1311_05-08_mickens.pdf |
