As I&#039;ve heard, they support concurrency more than any other, hence such languages are preferred for mathematical problems that are computationally intensive. I&#039;m yet to see why this is so, though. Also, they can solve problems in one or two lines of code which take dozens in others. <p>In reply to <a href="https://blog.thameera.com/learn-haskell-in-a-day/#comment-880">KJ</a>.</p> <p>As I’ve heard, they support concurrency more than any other, hence such languages are preferred for mathematical problems that are computationally intensive.
