Absolutely, and I have put a decent amount of time in to learning Haskell. But I've been imperative programming since 8 yo, and as much as I love Haskell I can't be saved from finding it hard to understand. I also find it unmemorable - I could get my head around that code if I tried but 2 weeks later I will forget.
I also find that code quite abstract, it looks to be solving some kind of problem that usually the language designer (if say you are in C#) would be solving. Haskell seems to be something that leaks it's mechanics into your code, where as C# keeps it for the most part nicely separated from your code, albeit with the effect of giving the programmer less power. No typeclasses etc.
