The steepness of Haskell learning curve is exaggerated.
I have experience where completely unmotivated (due to then ongoing very bad divorce) former Java programmer took a description of CPU for model code generation in Haskell's eDSL and successfully extended it in a month. The model had tricky (at the time) type level programming and type classes with associated types.
