/prog/ advice series: Haskell

Dear /prog/,

I'm tired of fighting with ENTERPRISE languages. I want to learn Haskell. The question is, where do I start?

I'm not completely ignorant of programming language theory -- I read http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=8184 several years ago -- but the math is a bit rusty. I've tried a few Haskell ``introductions'' but they were more philosophical wanking about the beauty of monads and other abstract bullshite than an instruction on how to program in Haskell. In short, help.

Don't do it in Haskell then fagtard. I'm sorry but it's a manufactured problem.

It's an example. I'd love to show you how the type system screws you in useful Haskell programs but there are no useful Haskell programs.


In unrelated news, thanks to the monomorphism restriction η-reduction doesn't always work in Haskell.
