While I havent used that library, there are plenty of ways to write obfuscated code in Haskell.

Some libraries may define their own operators (Scala suffers from this too), which can be impenetrable. Some libraries are better than others.

Although, I don't consider defining new operator names part of the syntax of the actual language itself.

I guess I'd just hope one doesnt start out jumping in to a complicated library. Its easier to start with more foundational materials.



* I can see your point about speed to attain proficiency. I wish I had a good answer for this.
