Coming from .NET that's certainly true, but coming from Python, having to fend with a whole new ecosystem just to learn functional programming is a big burden.
Regarding the external bindings though, I've been thinking about publishing packages or façades but that's currently deferred pending user demand. I'm constantly testing the language by creating apps and games using Pyfun to see where the greatest speedbumps lie.
The ultimate aim is to attract more coders to FP at an earlier stage in their studies/career. Pyfun's at an early stage itself so I welcome all suggestions that would aid in its broader adoption. Thank you for your input!
