That last paragraph is probably what I most needed to read.
I did give The Haskell School of Expression a good whirl -- heh, I brought it down to south america with me, and hacked through a little of it each morning for a couple of months, swinging in a hammock and listening to waves crash and deciding that the water was probably still too cold to go out.
But although I understood what I was reading and understood what the code I had written did ... grok I did not.
I couldn't think creatively in Haskell AT. ALL.
Nonetheless, your comment heartens me. Please reassure me further: are you a person who has ever written or attempted to write a non-trivial mathematic proof?
