> How much would it cost to train all your programmers to be productive Haskell programmers? Dunno about Haskell, but OCaml is way more simple than C++ or even Java. OCaml manual is 100 pages on informal tutorial + 100 pages of formal language definition. Another 200 pages are dedicated to runtime and tooling, and 400 more for the whole standard library. With Java, the language manual itself is 800 pages, and that's without the library or runtime.
