I think that’s reasonable, but the question is then at what point does a language become sufficiently difficult that it no longer provides a good return on investment? And to what degree of proficiency must one achieve in a language in order to productively use it?
It doesn’t take a long time to learn all of Elm, and you can be productive in it quickly.
It takes a very long time to learn all of Haskell, but it does not take a very long time to be productive with it.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agototally agreed, and I suppose in Paul Graham's concept of a Blub programming language there might be a language that is difficult to become proficient in but allows you to achieve things that would not be reasonably achievable in other languages.
