Got sidetracked by this:

That has always been my belief. I don't have anything else to back it up, only that my own speed of learning seems to increase for new subjects with time. The more I know, the easier new concepts seem. Very few things are completely new, unless I start delving into subjects I'm completely unfamiliar with. Say, Quantum Mechanics.

With most programming languages, I (and probably many here) can learn enough to start creating something useful in a weekend. Haskell always gave me trouble because it seems to take longer than that.

Then again, so does Prolog. I'll try yet again.
