[Haskell-cafe] RE: Haskell as a first language?

[Ross Mellgren]

I agree -- I think the most major learning curve problem (for me) was  
not learning haskell directly, it was un-learning all those patterns  
and workarounds and so on from imperative/OOP languages.

Of course, the only problem with learning haskell first is that one  
will probably be mildly annoyed by most of the more common programming  
languages ;-)
