Perhaps you could try drawing up a similar diagram for C++? I'm sure 
that between integer type modifiers, pointers & references, const & 
volatile, the new operator, implicit conversions, default 
constructors/descructors, templates, the preprocessor, function 
overriding, and everything else C++ has to offer, it'll come out 
similarly tangled. ;-)

The difference, I think, is that in C++ you don't need to know so many 
things to start writing useful code, whereas in Haskell, since 
everything is related to almost everything else, you need to actually 
know quite a lot of stuff all at once before you can "get going".
