    There is no kind of programming I enjoy more than writing higher order functions.

        Are you taking the @ocamlmooc course? :) This week is dedicated to higher order functions. Or is this post just a coincidence?

        There is no kind of programming I enjoy more than writing something that's never been written before.

        I have no "classic" artistic ability but by programming I can bring something brand new into the world. My form of art.

        What coding languages should an ambitious 20 year old aspiring founder with no CS background try and learn?

        If you have a friend who programs in some language and will teach you, that one. Otherwise Python or Ruby probably.

        I love HOFs, especially in ES6: fn = (x,f,g,o)=>g(f,x)=>o(g(f(x)),f(g(x))) becomes a thing.
