How long did it take you to become proficient in Haskell?
Something more than twenty years.
By that, I mean - how long until you were just as comfortable with Haskell as you were with your strongest language at that time?
Oh, Haskell was my strongest language during all that time! ;-) If I have a serious point, it's that going from writing imperative programmes to writing properly functional ones takes a lot longer than it takes to learn every facet of the language. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2009-01-31)
