     If I say I'm not stupid, would you believe me? I'm not saying
that Visual Basic-level programmers should be able to understand
haskell without a lot more studying and practice. What I'm saying is
that almost every topic in Haskell Café evolves into a very high level
discussion that may frighten some beginners, as it seems that without
a PhD in programming languages and category theory, the language is
not for you.

Cheers,
