If people exclusively communicated with the child in Haskell (and maybe Java or something else) the child would become amazing at it just as fast.

I don’t think that’s the case. There’s a whole tower of concepts that need to be learned before one can learn how to use a programming language.

I sadly do not remember the name, but there was a teacher/philosopher around 1900, who tried to teach his pupils the natural language in a math defined way. (and wrote books about the concept). His intentions were good, but he was not liked so much and he ultimately had to accept the impossibility of it...
