We 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.
