So we basically agree. You seem to have drawn from my comment that I think Haskell is some ideal language for teaching programming to babies. No. I merely said that basic math is similarly simple. I mentioned ML as well which you completely ignored, and in later comments I talked about Lisp and Logo. I was just trying to broaden the discussion to functional languages which are often passed over as teaching tools these days because they are frequently viewed as too difficult to understand or useless, when the actual genesis of CS pedagogy in children is with Logo and Lisp. Apologies if my comment was unclear.
