I know and interact with a handful of Haskell devs, some of whom even work with it full time. Some of the ideas behind Haskell intrigue me, but I'm a complete idiot. Now everyone is going to say that you don't need to understand the different theories behind purely functional languages to learn Haskell or know any math, but I'm not quite convinced. Just the vocabulary alone of most Haskell programmers I talk to seems foreign to me. I'm not just talking about half-jokes like zygohistomorphic prepromorphism either. The dictiob used in normal programming discussion makes no sense to me.
