I'm working on a project to create a filter for an essay examples database on https://essaypay.com/essay-examples..., and I could use some advice on the best way to approach it. The filter needs to allow users to select the length of the essay and the level of writing separately, but also be able to use both filters at once. I'm using Python and have some knowledge of C/C++. What would be the best way to implement this filter efficiently and effectively?

What's the easiest functional programming language for someone with experience with imperative languages?

I would like to learn a functional language to broaden my horizons. I have knowledge of Python and C / C ++ and I want the language to be easy to learn from someone who comes from the imperative realm of languages. I don't care if the language is strong enough. I just need a language to learn the basics of a functional programming language, and then I'll try to find a more complex (and powerful) one.
