there’s been some experiments teaching it to children - it’s about as easy as python but it’s a completely different way of thinking. in some ways, it’s easiest to learn if you haven’t been introduced to an imperative language already. I’d say they were two totally different skillsets except that you write radically different code in imperative languages that allow for higher-order functions after you’ve learned Haskell.

You could say the same about Lisp
yea, I just prefer having a static type system. I’m too dumb to code without one.
