[Haskell-beginners] When did Haskell become fun for you?

Hi all, I have been pursuing Haskell for about a year now and the community has been awesome. The learning curve has been ( and is still ) steep for me because of the sheer density of the concepts, but it has changed the way I think about programming. Relating it to music, Haskell is like jazz, the concepts are heady and the entry into that world requires a high level of patience and discipline. But in the end, you want to zone out and play. How long was it before you could just play Haskell? Thanks ... -deech
