> Put me in a room with Haskell and I'll learn it in a month. Give me a month of training in french and I'll maybe be able to not make an entire ass of myself if I try to get from point A to point B. Human languages are hard.
To be fair, I don't think this is actually because human languages are all that hard to become competent (note: not fluent) in. It's just that with computer languages you have an endlessly patient practice partner to work with. In particular, I think the complexity of competent Haskell is definitely higher than most spoken languages.
