This genius talk is so wrong. I have an bachelors in engineering from a state school. I've worked in Haskell with multiple people with no computer science education. You don't need to be a genius to know Haskell, and knowing Haskell doesn't make you a special genius.

And in my experience, the Haskell codebases I've worked in best exemplify the axiom you mention. I've solved so many problems by barely using my brain thanks to FP.

The main prerequisite is a good attitude.
