Do it, experience the joys that make higher-level programming easier. It'll only make you smarter and more intelligent when it comes to writing code since you fully understand how it works.

Do it, you might make a better wheel than the square ones we've been using all along.

Who said such a thing? If we don't have people reinventing the wheel with the slight hope of possibly improving said wheel then we'd be stuck with an efficient system full of retarded code-monkeys
Try a language like Perl or Python or Ruby where all the existing wheels are readily available.
I tend to reinvent the wheel a lot when I program in C. That's because reinventing a small subset of the wheel is sometimes better than dependency hell and having more ancient wheel than you'll ever need.

Yet you have no qualms about Perl? You're clearly a poser.

I've never used Perl. I'm preoccupied by Haskell. >>22
I already did. Check my dubs-2.0_i386

All I know about Perl is that its syntax is disgusting, Perl haskers claim to be a group on their own, and that it's good with strings. I should probably take a look at it sometime; as they say, being a good programmer is about having knowledge about everything, even platforms you will never use.

Dislike of syntax is superficial and the result of early exposure and conditioning. It is meaningless. Forget about it forever.
