   The only condescension I see in Haskell-related discussion is condescension towards Haskellers,
fwiw I've heard exactly the same claims by and about lispers.

And sometimes justified too. But in a different way. You don't see lispers ensuring us "You are smart enough to learn Lisp" because Lisp is quite easy to get started with. And you don't usually see lispers trying to be "friendly" by communicating in children's language.

I was wrong. And that book even looks interesting!
