I want to learn one functional programming language. I would like to know pros/cons of various candidates based on some assumptions (to be specified in question).

Now as it is Opinion based, StackOverflow.com is definitely not a place. Progammers SE could be one place, but FAQ suggest other wise.

Is there any suitable SE forum where opinion based questions are allowed?

    To be clear: there is a strong difference between opinion-based and subjective questions. Questions can be subjective, as long as their answers can be substantiated by hard evidence. Questions whose answers depend solely on opinion, however, do not fit.

No.

The SE system of voting on answers just doesn't work well for opinion based questions. Programmers actually started out as an 'opinion-based' site, but it wasn't really working - so its scope was overhauled.

No SE sites accept opinion based questions.

    It is flawed with the reputation system. It might work if answers could be upvoted or downvoted without change of reputation like happens on meta sites which are opinion based.
