I read two journalistic articles that described Erlang's characteristics correctly and then incorrectly extrapolated that Erlang is a Fortran killer for HPC. Hence my paraphrased quote...

... be an inverse correlation between familiarity with procedural/object-oriented programming languages and ease of learning a non-strict, purely functional programming language language, such as Haskell or Clean. A detailed survey might help in investigating this correlation. Brian Harvey has written on the closely related matters of what it takes to systematically teach the concepts of (a) programming by composing functions; (b)...

... experience, it all becomes much more art than science. Consider how they did during the primaries. Through the first five months of this year, Zogby's polling was off by an average of almost 7 points, Fox News by 4 points and Survey USA by 4.5 points. Mason-Dixon's average error was more than 8 points, and Rasmussen was off by more than 7. Don't get me wrong -- those national polls, taken as a whole, are a good indication of broad ...

The thought has just occurred to me that conducting a public survey on evolution across, familiarity with, and exposure to various programming paradigms in students and practitioners of functional programming could be illuminating in revealing the correlation between degree of familiarity with and experience in ...
