Last Meal Functional Language

You’ll be executed tomorrow. What would you like for last meal? I would like to code in the best functional language Haskell Is Scala ok?

The joke contrasts extreme programming-language preferences with the absurdity of treating code as a final meal. EN: A bald cartoon prisoner is asked what he wants for his last meal before execution.
