If we want to let people decide on their learning journey, I think something like this is even more harmful, since it creates an unrealistic standard. It's the equivalent of an Instagram lifestyle for software/hardware engineering. I've met many world class developers, and I'm sure that even after years of experience almost none could handle such a course even if dedicating themselves full time to it. Building a C compiler in Haskell is just one part of a 3-week section, and if you don't know Haskell you're really dead if you have to pick it up on the fly. It feels like an A/B test, to see how much bullshit can pass, or maybe the guy really is delusional, I don't really know.
