The key word was "theoretical"; or are there really competent Haskell programmers that hasn't done OO? :-)

When I started Haskell (early '99) I touched OO (C++) but wasn't like it much.

Actually, I specifically searched for a language that wasn't OO but provide all the benefits of OO when I found Haskell. The standard library back then was about twenty or less modules.

I don't really match against most of my colleagues right now, they done much more OO than me.

So, until recently I was really competent programmer with Haskell experience in useful programs that hadn't done OO. ;)
