If those interns and juniors came to you knot knowing Haskell, then this is a very bad way of teaching people. You end up with bad, non-idiomatic code, poorly understood concepts etc.

It's not bean counting.
- whateveracct 5y agoWe ended up with plenty of idiomatic code. They came in with 0 FP knowledge. Turns out you can learn the ropes & values in a couple months tops. Then you can learn with anyone and grow together. All the things you fear are barely consequential in practice in Haskell. All those things - who cares? What's the worst that can happen? The language puts such a high floor on the code it's okay. The main mistakes these newbies can make are stuff about database & distributed system design - orthogonal to Haskell and something they should be mentored on anyways.
