Partially true, it has taken me a long time to learn haskell. However if you want to learn anything there is some upfront effort involved. I don't get to write haskell at work, but I see its principles everywhere with an additional layer of cruft over the top. Examples include doing functional style programming in python, linq in C#, passing around functions and callbacks in JavaScript and trying to reason about side effects.
