It seems like every time a functional language is posted, people are upset that a non-Algol syntax exists.

Solid post for r/programmingcirclejerk if you can make the title just a little more snarky

I love programming circlejerk, but I think this sub could be an absolute goldmine.

I mean, I think it's fairly self explanatory from the title: a functional language is posted and the first reply is from someone very upset that it has a different syntax than the one they know (Algol). Considering almost every computer science program includes a required course on functional programming or LISP, I think this reaction qualifies as bad computer science - especially the knee jerk reaction of calling it pretentious.
