P.S. I am not gifted also and I guess I managed to learn it to an extend, too. Basically I'm always afraid when writing mutable/imperative code now.

Yes. Haskell's Maybe / Scala's Option was a fantastic finding for me. I quickly incorporated that in all of my code, I think it filters out a lot of problems, especially the "billion dollar mistake" (null reference exception).
