Oh yes it is. I've done both for a long time (C++ since early 1990s, have known committee members, written a lang proposal, Haskell since '07).

The difference is that the C++ complexity is mostly from fitting abstraction into the legacy compat/efficiency constraints, while on Haskell it's learning more math/theory.
