I went on the Haskell site to take a look at the language and I was blown away by the documentation for new people. There are free books on it, plenty of written tutorials, and even a browser interpreter that teaches you the basics of Haskell by prompting you to type code and then explaining it to you.

This is the first time I've ever seen a language that had a community so willing to try and teach you. Do any other language communities come close to this or is Haskell an anomaly?

come on what could be more straigfoward than this

Y :: forall a. (a -> a) -> a
Y x = let x = f x in x

test

Y (\f x -> if x <= 1 then 1 else x*f(pred x)) = 120
yay!

lazy evaluation baby!
