Hello fellow FP-Lemmyites. I'd love to hear stories about what got you interested in FP originally, and how you learned.

After watching some FP popularization talks on Youtube I tried to learn Haskell and Clojure for fun, but quickly ran out of steam after first couple of exercises, feeling that I can't get real advantage here. Then the other day I needed to make a simple web app. Being new to frontend I thought to myself after tasting all the recommended JS frameworks: there must be something better than this. After some research I picked up the "Elm in Action" by R. Feldman and everything just clicked :)
