gollark: But working out things like "how is this styled" and "is this done idiomatically by someone who knows the language well" can require even deeper knowledge than just working out the algorithm.
gollark: If you're writing a thing you probably have a decent idea of the problem domain involved and what's going on, and just have to work out how to express that in code.
gollark: What I'm saying is that reading things and understanding them can be harder than writing them sometimes.
gollark: Yes. It's not unique to Haskell.
gollark: For example, if I was doing Haskell, I could write everything awfully in `IO` and make it very comprehensible to a C user, or I could write it in some crazy pointfree way which I don't understand 5 seconds after writing it.
