Comment on Functional programming's smugness problem

Comments

My experience is the exact opposite. Whenever I struggle with an FP concept, those deeply nested in the community tend to be both eager to help and pretty unassuming. This is especially true among Haskellites (Haskellistas?) who usually understand there's a high learning curve associated with the language.

His examples come from the Scala community; I wonder if it's more pronounced there? I get the impression Haskell folks are fairly laid-back too.
