It takes quite a bit of time to get used to the idea that more thinking and less typing is a blessing rather than a curse. You don’t stop typing for minutes at a time because you’re not being productive. You stop typing because Haskell is incredibly expressive – one line of Haskell code is often equivalent to dozens of lines of Java or C++. You end up spending almost the same amount of time thinking about the problem regardless of the language but with Haskell you spend a lot less time (and space) expressing the problem in terms a computer can understand.
