    > Nimrod's syntax is quite similar to scala What are you talking about!? Have you even looked at either? Nimrod: for i in 1..100: if i mod 15 == 0: echo("FizzBuzz") elif i mod 3 ==…

    This is a common misconception. Haskell is extremely readable. You just have to learn it. Python reads like pseudo-code where as Haskell reads like math. Both are readable, they ar…
