There's something very seductive about a chance to comment on posts like this one for a particular group of people. These posts whisper in your ears "the fact that you've had a hard time and failed to understand, learn and harness these exotic languages does not mean that you are not brilliant. Here's a blank canvas for you to convince others of same, perpetuating the perspective convenient to your ego, which got bruised by the hard task in the past" (all in good humor) Jokes aside, I code professionally Haskell every day all day long. I'm very productive and get more productive and love the language more every day. It's all about realistic expectations and commitment (just like anything that's hard). You cannot expect to learn and be productive in Haskell within a week/month or even a year. You need a lot of patience and dedication, but you will be rewarded, that i can promise.
