Dear all, I wish to thank you for your answers. I am sorry for confusion because of my generic questions. We are learning Clojure at University, and are looking for some nice example of integrating it with one ERP system that has .NET integration capability, so my question was directed at getting more insight about following:
1) What would be the potential reason to use functional languages (Clojure, F#, ...) vs .NET (because this is the context of this ERP integration mechanism) non-functional languages (C#) with LINQ (a Monads implementation as Paulo pointed)? 2) Are there potential advantages of Clojure over F#? Thank you all, once again :) On Feb 10, 5:32 pm, Paulo Pinto <paulo.jpi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I got the impression that you don't know .Net. > > .Net is a VM similar to what the JVM offers, there are many functional > languages that > target .Net as well. > > Microsoft's own functional language F# > Currently VB.Net and C# provide functional programming constructs > LINQ is actually an implementation of Monads > There is OCaml for .Net > There are efforts in place to target Scala to .Net > And many other functional languages, that I have omitted. > > Oh lets not forget that there is Clojure being developed for .Net as > well. > > So I suggest that you rethink the scope of your question. > > -- > Paulo > > On Feb 9, 6:48 pm, Bojan Jovicic <bojan.jovi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Dear all, > > what are in your opinion 3 biggest advantages that Clojure and > > functional languages have over .NET, with focus on LINQ? > > > E.g.
