About Haskell

Is it just me, or is Haskell the most confusing language to learn? I mean, C/C++, Java, Python, heck even Ruby are relatively easy compared to this cludgey shit. BTW, Monads are a retarded concept. Simon Peytell Jones (the creator of Haskell) was right when he said that Haskell is fucking useless (I'm paraphrasing, but that's the basic jist of it)

Yes, it's just you. I didn't have any problems learning Haskell in a few weeks by doing a real project in it. You're probably just too deeply stuck in your imperative mindset.

yes, I agree with >>8

haskell is far too easy actually which is why I use lisp
I enjoy having to write fun little list munching algorithms and make my own pretty data structures..
when you hack haskell everything is there for you and before you know it your programs done.. I always get that ok now what feeling after finishing haskell projects.

anyways haskell is easy, just dont try it if you havent read SICP!
