To add to the evidence, I'm an experienced Python programmer who is currently waiting very impatiently for his Amazon shipment of "Real World Haskell" and "Purely Functional Data Structures". (Oh, and "Garfield Minus Garfield".)
- silentbicycle 17y agoWhile you're waiting for PFDS, here's Okasaki's thesis (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/theses/okasaki.pdf http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/theses/okasaki.pdf). It's the seed of the book.
