Fair criticism to some extent. It comes back to the point Matthias
made about building roads from hell to paradise.

We will agree to disagree about whether FP is hard. I am not going to
accept that just because something is different from the mainstream,
like FP is, then it means it is hard or hard to learn. Learning is
general is hard and full of challenges especially when it is
worthwhile to learn. I guess I just have a profound cultural
difference with anyone that equates that with pain.
