Your parent poster never said anything about intelligence in his post. In addition, Haskell does not have syntax for dictionaries/hashes, or really any "container type" other than lists (and list comprehensions).
I believe my key mistake was using the term "real programming languages" as the alternative to "scripting languages": the word "real" is quite harsh; I have softened the statement slightly by changing "we look at" to "some look at".
I will also, though, point out that I write almost as much (if not more) Python as I do Objective-C++ these days: I therefore can be said to certainly not consider Python to be for "stupid people", without including myself in that set. ;P
