I think lazy evaluation is very hard, especially when you are dealing with a codebase of of say 50 files with structures containing other structures, the line between lazy and strict is very hard to see.
The difficulty learning lazy evaluation skill goes from
* 0 where you know nothing to 5 where you sort of understand.
* 5 - 90 is a space where you think you know what it is, but you really don't. You'll probably get yourself in trouble more than helping.
* 90-100 is when you grok it and can use it effectively.
I am an avid haskell user for a few years and I am still 50/50 on most of my conclusions about laziness without asking someone else.

I agree with this statement.
